John asked: What is the name of the bird book AR refers to in GN?

It is never actually given a name but I wrote an article for Mixed Moss which proves beyond my reasonable doubt that it was Edmund Sandars "A Bird Book for the Pocket".
The wording of the description of the Great Northern Diver and the watercolour painting of its head in Sandars' book are pretty well identical to Ransome's quotes and Dick's sketch as printed in GN?.
