Summary "Report on the Migration of Birds in the Autumn of 1879" by John A. Harvie-Brown and John Cordeaux is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work presents detailed observations and reports regarding the migration patterns of various bird species along the east coast of Scotland and England during the autumn of 1879. It aims to document the behaviors and numbers of the birds observed, shedding light on the ecological aspects of migration during that period. The beginning of this report sets the stage for thorough data collection involving numerous lighthouse stations along the east and west coasts of Scotland and England. The authors describe the methods used to gather information, including printed forms sent to lighthouse keepers, and commence with records of bird species observed in various locations. A notable point mentioned is the unusual scarcity of birds reported by many observers, which may be attributed to prevailing weather conditions and previous environmental stresses. As the narrative unfolds, the text hints at both quantitative analysis of bird sightings and qualitative observations of migration behaviors amidst varying climatic circumstances.
