H.T.L. Schaanning. B ird F au n a o f E a st F in nm a rk and the nest is a hollow in a tussock on a flat surface. The male is very aggres sive and if an «enemy» approaches he rushes forward and makes shrill sounds: «te-vee», «te-vee»... The eggs in different clutches differ in colour and one of the eggs is different from the others. Detailed descriptions are given to the coloration and size of eggs, the appearance of nestlings etc. Comments are often made in the essays to explain the time difference between various species’ arrival dates and the difference in eggs coloration. For example, he notes that red-throated pipit arrives in South Varanger one week later than other pipits. «Egg laying takes place during the second week of June; the number of eggs is 6, seldom - five, once I saw 7. Their colour is absolutely the same as of Lapland Bunting’s tha t are often found in light-grey variation, ... they are easy to distinguish from those of Meadow Pipit by their opaque surface and less bright shell which is more spotty (with large spots) and, as a rule, has individual (few) clear black spots and dashes». Such descriptions are quite numerous. There are interesting observations about Lapland Bunting’s mating behavour, Bramble Finch’s egg laying and eggs colouration, specific details of Snowy Owl’s reproduction, Wood Grouse’s migration, Waxwing’s mew, and many other issues. Below are given several essays as examples of Schaanning’s manner of describing birds. 12* 17 9
