. British birds. Birds. VTwm. Bird-Hunting through Wild Europe. By R. B. Lodge. Illustrated. R. Culley. 7s. 6d. net. In this book Mr. R. B. Lodge, who mil be well-known to most of our readers as a successful bird-photographer, describes his recent experiences in Spain and the Balkans. In Albania and Montenegro especially the author had to undertake much travelhng in a decidedly country before he was able to find the birds he was particularly in search of, consequently, his time was limited for making obser- vations on the habits of the birds he met. Nevertheless there is a good deal in the book which will interest the student of British birds, because Mr. Lodge was fortunate enough to see and photograph, in their breeding haunts, many species which very rarely wander to this country. Herons (he was successful in photographing the rare Ardea alba at its nest) and birds of prey seem to have engaged Mr. Lodge's chief attention, and his list of successful photographs of these birds is remarkable. We may here mention that in making the statement on p. 210 that the Common Bittern's nest has not been photographed, Mr. Lodge has overlooked Mr. Wade's successful photographs already published in this Magazine (Vol. I., p. 329). The simply-told narrative of the author's experiences and adventures is well worth reading, while the photographs, as we should expect, are both numerous and excellent. The book is nicely got up and well printed, but a tint of an extremely inartistic yellow has been printed under some of the best pictures, and forming a wide frame gives a most dis- pleasing effect, and altogether spoils these really beautiful photographs.— Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original London, Witherby & Co
