Bird Life near Salisbury is the subject of a very interesting letter 
from the Rev. A. P. Morres to the Salisbury Journal, Jan. 20th, 1900. 
‘Mr. Morres notes that the Black-headed Gulls arrive now punctually at 
the end of October, in the Salisbury neighbourhood, and remain there 
till the middle or end of March, and he attributes the fact to the large 
increase in their numbers under the Protection Acts. He also notes that 
| no less than five Bitterns were seen or shot (all but two of them shot) in 
: the Salisbury neighbourhood during or after the sharp frosts of the winter, 
which seem to have brought over large numbers to this country—only, of 
course, to be everywhere destroyed. Mr. Morres thinks that the Stone 
: Curlew. are decidedly on the increase on the downs, as flocks of thirty or 
; forty may sometimes be seen together. It is much to be hoped that this 
fine bird may be allowed by sportsmen to increase still more on the plain.

Dewar. J. M. Dent & Co., 1899. Chap. VII., “From Sarum to

country on the Wiltshire border.
