What reading level is Woodlanders And Field Folk Sketches of Wild Life in Britain book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
NEST AND EGGS OF WOODCOCK.
To face p. 127.
AUTUMN AND WINTER BIRDS 127 quantity that a single bird can devour is enormous.
Sportsmen know that woodcocks are here to-day, gone to-morrow. Where they were in plenty yesterday, not one remains. Ireland affords the best shooting. There fifty brace have been shot in one day. This feat was the result of a wager, and the bag was made by 2 p. M. , with a single-barrel flint- lock. The 'cock were shot in an old, moist wood; and it is in such spots on the ...mild west coast that the " woodsnipe " finds its favourite haunt. In England the birds affect coppice-woods frequenting most those which are wet, and such as have rich deposits of dead and decaying leaves. None of our birds conforms better or more closely to its environment. The browns and duns and yellows of its plumage have all their counterparts in the leaves among which it lies. Its protection lacks in one thing, however, and that is its large dark eye. This is full, bright and obtrusive. It is not often that a special pro- vision of this kind is injurious to its owner; but the lustre which beams from the woodcock's eye is apt to betray its presence, perhaps slightly to negative the advantage of its protective colouring.
