"Report on the Migration of Birds in the Spring and Autumn of 1887. Ninth Report" by J. A. Harvie-Brown and colleagues is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This report summarizes the findings from a committee reappointed by the British Association for the Advancement of Science regarding bird migration observed at various lighthouses and lightships in the British Isles. The focus of the report is on collecting and analyzing
data related to the timing and patterns of migratory birds during the specified seasons. The opening of the report sets the stage for a detailed examination of migratory patterns, introducing the members of the committee and outlining their methodologies. It highlights the arrangements made to gather observations from specific coastal locations, including the East and West coasts of Scotland, the East coast of England, and the coasts of Ireland. The narrative reveals an organized effort to compile substantial data on various bird sightings, including specific instances and notes from lighthouse keepers, that contribute to the broader study of avian migration across different regions.
