Bobby Tulloch Migrations: Travels of the Naturalist
London Kyle Cathie 1991 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine John Busby
Maybe it's the Viking blood in their veins, but the northern islanders have always been great travellers. In lerwick or in Stromness, they'll tell you that going anywhere at all means journeying a long way from home for a Shetlander or an Orkneyman. It will come, then, as no surprise that Bobby Tulloch, Shetland's outstanding naturalist, has done more than his fair share of travelling. Migrations follows his voyaging over northern seas to the Faroes and remote St Kilda, and south as far as the Seychelles and the Falklands, in search of greater understanding of the birds he has loved and studied all his life. Whether he is watching the local "tysties" as the Shetlanders call the black guillemot, or scouring an outer island of the Seychelles for a glimpse of its magpie-robin, one of the rarest birds in the world, his fascination with their lives and concern for their well-being shines through. Here is a splendidly evocative season by season naturalist's travel journal, overflowing with the birds - and beasts and botany - of islands and landfalls from Spitsbergen to the fringes of Antarctica... and home again to Shetland. This magnifenct book from the author of Bobby Tulloch's Shetland offers a colourful tapestry of ornithologist's tales, illuminated by his 'seeing eye' and illustrated by his breathtaking photography.
