It is not, however, a comprehensive ornithological account of Kintyre birds and their current status, but tends more towards observations on the behaviour of humans in relation to birds.The material was assembled and edited by Angus Martin, Campbeltown-born poet, historian and lifelong naturalist, with the active participation of more than thirty contributors.This informal and engaging compilation on the wild birds of Kintyre draws on diverse sources. It contains contributions from living bird-watchers and extracts from published works, as well as bird-related folklore and place-names, and many local names for birds, in Gaelic and Scots.
