Description

Dick lies flat on his front, binoculars to his eyes, alone at dusk. He makes a remarkable discovery: two rare birds, never before seen in the British Isles. When Captain Flint and his crew consult an expert to confirm the discovery, they are met with unexpected news. The man they ask has a keen interest in the birds' eggs and skins, which puts the entire voyage in jeopardy. As the Outer Hebrides become a battleground for the rare birds' survival, Dick and the crew must act quickly to save them. But their efforts are complicated by the expert's true intentions, setting the stage for a tense and thrilling adventure. In this gripping tale, the line between discovery and exploitation is blurred, and the fate of the rare birds hangs in the balance.
