The Birds of Oxfordshire, 1889

I have found a copy of the book The Birds of Oxfordshire, by O.V. Aplin, 1889. It can be read online here: http://www.archive.org/stream/birdsofoxfordshi00apli#page/n7/mode/2up
It has a few hand written notes but otherwise is clean and easy to read.

It's got some interesting entries on birds that were commoner and are now unfortunately quite rare or even extinct in the county and records of rarer visitors to the county that would cause a twitch now.

  1. With a bit of google searching of 'Oliver Vernon Aplin' there are several pdf versions available to download for free too.
