Text Appearing Before Image:
The Common Buzzard (Buteo vulgaris ) LEACH. (JT^HIS noble species has of late years become very scarce, and is only occasionallymet with in our district. The specimen, an exceptionally fine female, measuring thirty-six inches inexpanse of wing, was killed on the Eaton Estate, and presented by His GraceThe Duke of Westminster, K.G. The bird is represented carrying off a nearlyfull-grown rat. The rockwork is a reproduction of the local Trias or Red-sandstone, andis chiefly modelled in papier-mache.
Text Appearing After Image:
The Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) Linnaeus MALE, FEMALE, NEST, AND YOUNG. O the Agriculturist this species is one of the most useful of all our British birds; its food at all times consisting mainly of the Common FieldVole (Arvicola agrestisj. The nest affords abundant proof of their usefulness, forthe interstices between the sticks are filled with fur from many scores of FieldVoles ; the remains of a Blackbird being the only exception. The nest (an oldone of the Magpie) has had the front portion of the dome pulled away by theKestrels, to admit of easy access to their young. It is very rarely that these birdsbuild a nest of their own. The upper specimen is an adult male ; the nest of fivefull-fledged young ones differ very little from the adult female which is crouchingat the edge of the nest. Collected on the Faton Estate, and presented by Mr. R. J. Smith.
