| Summary | "Among the Birds in Northern Shires" by Charles Dixon is a popular ornithological guide written in the late 19th century. The work serves as an introduction to the variety of bird species in Northern England, emphasizing the differences in avifauna between northern and southern counties. The author, drawing upon two decades of personal experience observing birds in their natural environments, discusses notable species and their behaviors in relation to the unique northern ecosystems. The opening of the book outlines the author's intent to compare the ornithological phenomena observed in different regions, particularly those of the northern shires. It discusses the notable presence of various bird species near upland streams, such as the Dipper and the Gray Wagtail, and highlights how their behaviors are influenced by geographic and climatic factors. Dixon provides a detailed observation of the Dipper's habits, habitat preferences, and nesting behaviors, along with a personal narrative that enriches the scientific content, making it appealing to both bird enthusiasts and casual readers alike.
