The beautiful flute-like notes of the blackbird were borne across the water now and then. Some wagtails chirped and flitted busily about, with looping flight, as is their manner.

Nor had the Swallows and House-Martins arrived. But the may was just showing in the green, whilst elders were still more advanced. The points of the sedges, just visible above the water where it was shallow, told that there would soon be waving banks of them there. And so we knew that our little bird visitors would shortly arrive. We found the remains of several nests plainly visible in some as yet leafless shrubs; they had escaped us when all was in leafy green the previous year. I photographed one of them—that of a Sedg
