A few years ago a colony of them used to frequentanother marsh in th.e neighbourhood, which was subsequentlydrained, and is now cultivated land. They then betookthemselves to their present resort, and in a few years thiswas also drained. Fortunately, however, the expense ofpumping exceeded the value of the reco\ered land, whichwas indeed almost worthless, and after several thousandpounds had been spent the place was allowed to revertinto its original state, and the Spoonbills and other featheredinhabitants returned to find shelter and safety once more inthe reed-beds of this most interesting meer. It is indeed a most charming place for an ornithologist—full of lasting interest and delight, where he can revel inthe sight of many banished birds Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
