Publisher's Synopsis
"Capercaillie in Scotland" is a detailed study of the capercaillie (also known as wood grouse), a large bird of the grouse family, within its Scottish habitat. Written by J. A. Harvie-Brown and originally published in 1887, this work offers insights into the bird's natural history, distribution, and the environmental factors impacting its population during that era.
The book explores various aspects of the capercaillie's life cycle, behavior, and ecological interactions, while also touching upon the practices of hunting and game management prevalent in Scotland at the time. This volume provides historical context and valuable information for ornithologists, conservationists, and anyone interested in the natural history of Scotland.
