My brother's notes state that, having twice or thrice heard and seen a Lesser 

 Whitethroat near the same place in a hedge, he looked it over carefidly, and 

 on the 9th found the nest in a very thin whitethorn, about four feet higher 

 than the bank on which the hedge grew. " The first egg was laid on the 12th, 

 and on the 13th I took one out — the remainder on the IGth. when I found the 

 bird on the nest, and could distinctly see her grey back while on, and as she 

 flew off."]
