| Summary | "Birds' Nests, Eggs and Egg-Collecting" by Richard Kearton is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work provides an in-depth look at the nesting habits, egg characteristics, and reproductive behaviors of various British birds, aimed at both amateur naturalists and those interested in ornithology. The book seeks to educate readers on the fascinating intricacies of bird life and the importance of preserving these species in their natural habitats. The opening of the book introduces readers to the author's intentions and philosophical approach to studying birds. Kearton emphasizes that the examination of bird life, particularly their nests and eggs, is more than a mere hobby; it is a vital aspect of scientific inquiry that demands careful observation and systematic study. He discusses the concept of instinct in birds and the evolutionary adaptations that have shaped their nesting behaviors over time, highlighting the relationship between their environment and the nesting strategies employed. The preface sets the tone for an insightful exploration of oology, establishing a framework for understanding the importance of research and conservation in the realm of ornithology.
