Having trained as a civil engineer and surveyor, the ornithologist
William Eagle Clarke (1853 1938) established himself in his field
by preparing reports on bird migration for the British Association.
Focusing on the species passing through the British Isles, Clarke
spent many months in various lighthouses and on remote islands. He
brought all his research together in this two-volume work, first
published in 1912 and illustrated with maps, weather charts and
photographs of key research locations. In Volume 1, Clarke notes
which species arrive in the British Isles during each season. A map
shows the routes they take. He also explains how weather conditions
affect avian journeys, using charts to indicate temperature changes
across Europe and wind conditions over Britain. The annual
movements of swallows, skylarks, rooks and other species are then
discussed individually. The volume closes with Clarke's account of
the month he spent at the Eddystone Lighthouse."

Volume 2, Clarke describes key examples of his investigations.
Photographs of the sites he visited accompany the text. The
locations range from the Flannan Isles, in the Outer Hebrides, to
the island of Ushant, off the coast of Brittany. Clarke's
expedition to the latter location ended abruptly when he and his
colleague were mistaken for spies and forced to leave. Extensive
coverage is also given to Fair Isle, between Shetland and Orkney."
