8 THE BIRDS OF BRECONSHIRE. 
* 
Farm House, Nant y Boncath, 6 miles on 
the road from Carmarthen to Lampeter. 
The Buzzard in Welsh is called Boda, 
plural Bodaod, and this name is in 
general use in Breconshire, and in Car- 
marthenshire; sometimes, though rarely, 
the word Awucath is used, but this is 
applied to any large bird, such as 
‘Buzzard or even Bittern. 
HONEY BUZZARD, Pernis apivorus. 
One was shot at Ffrwdgrech, near 
Brecon. I saw it in its case, but the 
estate having changed hands I am unable 
to record any of the circumstances 
attending its capture. It can only be 
regarded as a very rare visitor. 
Another was killed at Danypark, near 
Crickhowell, by the late Mrs. Crawshay’s 
keeper, either in 1871 or 1872. I am 
indebted to Mr. A. Crawshay for this 
information. It may be mentioned that 
in the year 1896, a pair were killed by a 
gamekeeper near Hereford, and were 
stuffed by Mr. Ashdown, who informed 
me the female had eggs in her. It 
seems a pity they were not allowed to 
breed in peace.
