GEA eR Ay, 
Poon nbs WATERSIDE ONCE MORE——SECOND 
WEEK IN: TUNE 
THE season was now well advanced, but it 
is never certain what nests may be found until 
well into summer. Then second and third 
broods are being reared by some birds. We 
were particularly fortunate in the second 
week in June when visiting waters we had 
before explored, to come upon the nest of a 
great crested grebe, close to London. I had 
noticed what was probably the pair of birds 
now building here, about these parts since the 
last season. They had become located, evi- 
dently finding it a quiet place and getting 
plenty of aquatic weeds, fish, frogs and water 
insects to feed on. Many other uncommon 
birds would live and breed here were it not 
that the place is shot over several times each
