three ; in fact, is the first Lutino of the species I have heard of, although

Alexandrines are quite as common as Plumheads, if not more so. Along with

these came a Lutino Plumhead with normal eyes and feet. This is rapidly

WHITE WAGTAILS NESTING IN HEREFORDSHIRE.


Mr. Teschemaker writes to the Editor : “ Your experience with the pair of

M hite Wagtails is very interesting, such occurrences being very rare in inland

districts, though occasionally being recorded on our south and west coasts.


“ The pairing of a male White Wagtail with a female Pied is much more

frequent.


“ Some years since, a ‘ pair ’ made a nest under the eave of my stable, but I

disturbed them, so they changed their minds and selected a site in a neighbouring

garden. The young resembled the Pied.”
