The Naturalist On The Thames is a book written by C.J. Cornish that provides a detailed account of his experiences as a naturalist on the Thames River. The book is a collection of essays that describe the flora and fauna of the river, as well as the various habitats and ecosystems that exist along its banks. Cornish's observations are based on his extensive travels along the river, and he provides vivid descriptions of the animals and plants he encounters. The book also includes numerous illustrations and photographs that help to bring the natural world of the Thames to life. Overall, The Naturalist On The Thames is an engaging and informative read that will appeal to anyone with an interest in the natural world.On September 16, 1896, after a period of very stormy wet weather, I saw a great migration of swallows down the Thames. It was a dark, dripping evening, and the thick osier bed on Chiswick Eyot was covered with wet leaf. Between five and six o'clock immense flights of swallows and martins suddenly appeared above the eyot, arriving, not in hundreds, but in thousands and tens of thousands. The air was thick with them, and their numbers increased from minute to minute. Part drifted above, in clouds, twisting round like soot in a smoke-wreath. Thousands kept sweeping just over the tops of the willows, skimming so thickly that the sky-line was almost blotted out for the height of from three to four feet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
