I have now enumerated no less than one hundred species from this small 

 space; how many more might have been found there, by a careful observer 

 in days of yore, before it was enclosed and planted, having a decoy at the 

 rushy end; "your deponent sayeth not," The Golden Plover may still be seen 

 in large flocks in the neighbourhood; and, no doubt, in by-gone days of 

 frost and snow, most of the species of Gulls and Geese, Bewick's Swan, and 

 a variety of Ducks not mentioned, may have found a quiet resting-place on 

 this little lake. But they have now, alas! one by one, been fast retiring to 

 those distant haunts, where, far from the improving, though unsparing hand 

 of man, they can still rear their young without interruption.
