CHAPTER X 



Bird Life in Denmark — On the Fjord 



FoK many years, to visit Denmark, and to see for niyselt 

 some of the episodes of marsli bird life, as described by 

 Seebohm, has been a great but impossible ambition. 

 This year, however (1908), the wish lias been at last 

 fulfilled : and thouoh I did not actually see the Tarm 

 marshes described ])y him, yet I rather fancy I nuist lla^'e 

 gone over some of the ground visited by liini in tlie 

 inunediate neighbourhood. Since his time, however, tilings 

 have altered somewhat, and fresh restrictions have been 

 made, by which a (TO^'ernment permit is necessary before 

 one is allowed e\'en to set foot on the ])est part of the 

 ground.
