Book Description

Excerpt from Transactions of the Natural History Society of Glasgow, 1900-1901, Vol. 6: Including the Proceedings of the Society; Part II Of the Peregrine Falcon, he says: A bird called the Blue Hawk by gardeners is said to be seen here occasionally, but he was unable to satisfy himself about it. The sparrow-hawk is the only bird of prey we can boast of as a residenter. It is frequently seen gliding leisurely over our fields. I have never been able to find out their nests here, though I think it very probable that they build on some of the old trees at the top of the quarry at Craigpark.
