' Birds of our Scottish Towns and Villages'
G. W. MACALLISTER
The number of varieties of birds to be found in a town or village depends on its situation, whether it is near the sea, a fresh-water loch, large woods, or moorland. In a large industrial city like Glasgow, which has numerous public parks, twenty different kinds of birds may be noted without great difficulty.
In his talk this afternoon Mr.
MacAllister will confine his attention to the rook, jackdaw, house sparrow, thrush, blackbird, robin, starling, and black-headed gull. Mr. MacAllister, who is a teacher in a Glasgow school, has been a student of bird life for many years.
