URiNG the season the best work done has been 

 that of Bullock-Webster, to whom the Sectional 

 Prize has been awarded. In addition to sending in 

 records of eggs, members were asked to keep a 

 notebook and there state fully the habits and 

 appearance of birds and the nests that they 

 found. Bullock-Webster's notebook was excel- 

 lent and was made the more interesting by 

 photographs of nests which had been given him by Dr. Wilson. 

 Bullock- Webster says: — "Going in for the Competition has taught me 

 much about birds and their habits." CoUett's notebook also deserves 

 special mention. 



We hope that members who photograph will follow Dr. Wilson's 

 example and take photographs of nests. Among the rarer birds the 

 Redstart, Nuthatch and Hawfinch are becoming more common 

 visitants. Mr. Hedley saw in a garden by St. Luke's Church, close 

 to the busiest part of the Town, a Pied Flycatcher on April 30th and 

 four following days, a Hawfinch in May, two Grey Wagtails by the 

 Chelt in Turner's field on April 4th, also a Kingfisher near the same 

 spot on Nov. 29th.
