What reading level is Wild Life in the West Highlands book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


Turning now to the second category men- 124 INCREASE AND DISPERSAL OF BIRDS tioned above, that of birds formerly known only as passing visitors, but of late remaining as resident and nesting species, the most remark- able instance is that of the woodcock. This bird has been always, as far as we know, a regular visitor on migration, just as it still is in Germany and other parts of the continent of Europe; but to-day it is something more, being now fairly established as a breeding species all ov
...er Great Britain. Yet, to go back to the mid- Victorian era, a woodcock's nest was then a rarity indeed, hardly to be credited without ocular demonstra- tion. Some forty years ago I remember seeing such a nest for the first time in central Perth- shire, the motionless sitting bird hardly to be distinguished from the brown leaves and bracken around it save for its prominent bead-like eyes ; at the same date they were found nesting yearly in the birch-copses round a sea loch in West Argyll. Now-a-days they nest, in all likelihood, in every county in Scotland, in favourable localities in considerable and increasing numbers.
