 BLUE TITMOUSE. 



§ 1009. Four. — Wirksworth, Derbyshire. Before 1844. 



The nest found by my brother George. He could not easily ex- 

 tract it from the hole in the branch of the tree where it was built. 

 The bird was sitting, and did not mind his poking. He went home 

 to get a saw ; and when he had sawn off the branch he found the 

 old bird still sitting on the eggs, though covered with sawdust, and 

 had to lift her off before he could get at them.
