Excerpt from Notes on the Bird Life of Formby Dividing of birds into classes (which is bound to be more or less inaccurate, seeing that several species are found both on the moss and on the shore) in the absence of a more interesting method of chronicling local specimens and my father's numerous notes on them. A regular detailed list of the Birds of Formby would be very far from interesting. Neither is it the writer's intention to attempt to describe the appearance of the birds which occur here; for no man can describe the appearance of such a bird as a cock teal correctly, and probably half of those who read these notes know the looks of most wild fowl quite as well as the writer. Formby is by no means the desert to the ornithologist which many people would think. Rarities occur here, either in the fields, on the shore or on the mosslands, every year, though in greatly diminishing numbers; but still, until quite recently, Formby was the scene of the capture of several birds whose appearances in England may be counted upon the fingers of one hand. The writer has divided the birds into four classes in the absence of a better, or rather, a more interesting, method. The Moss Birds may be taken as the frequenters of marshy ground and inland waters; the Inland Birds are fowl of the larger inland class; the smaller birds and the Shore Fowl need little explanation. To those who are fond of Natural History, and especially of birds, I commend these rough notes, trusting that, should they find many glaring errors in them, they will point.
