reared and kept in an aviary at Llan- 
gattock by Mr. Harries’s uncle, but they 
were unfortunately destroyed by rats. 
In 1893 a hen Hawfinch was caught in 
a net in the garden at Llangattock and 
kept in an aviary there for three years. 
Its food was hemp and canary seed. 
Since then Hawfinches have often been 
seen in the district and their nests found. 
From the above it will be seen that 
there can be no possible doubt of its 
breeding in this county, and it seems 
to favour the southern part of the county 
from Buckland down to Crickhowell 
more than other parts, although it will 
be remembered that I saw a young bird 
unable to fly that had been caught near 
Brecon. (See page 60). 
NIGHTJAR, Caprimulgus europeus. 
I should have added in my notice of 
this bird, that one evening I watched a 
Nightjar skimming over the surface of 
the Rock Pool, on the Usk, under my 
house, and drinking repeatedly, after the 
manner of the Swallows.
