The Norfolk Broads 



'2W 



Large numbers 

 of tliese Owls are 

 taken in the fliglit- 

 nets of the Lin- 

 eohishire and Nor- 

 folk coasts on their 

 arrival in this 

 country. I once 

 saw one come over 

 in the early morn- 

 ing mobbed by a 

 lot of Rooks. 



The hr-woods 

 are inhabited by 

 the Long-eared 

 Owl, which nests 

 very early in the 

 year in old squir- 

 rels' nests and 

 Wood - pigeons' 

 nests — sometimes 

 e ^^ e n o n the 

 ground, but this is 

 exceptional. 



Daily we saw 

 a Shoveller-duck, 

 which must have 

 been breeding
