Kestrit.—This is by far the most common hawk we have. ‘The 
nest, which consists of little else than a few sticks loosely put 
together, is often placed on the tops of the tallest spruce firs. 
The eggs are four or five in number, of a reddish brown colour, 
stained with darker spots and blotches. These are hatched the 
latter end of April.

quently than the females. 
F. Milvus, Temm. Man. @Ornith. p. 59. 
Krre.—Not so abundant as the two preceding species.

RovuGuH-LEGGED Buzzarp.—A specimen of this bird, shot in 
the vicinity of Cambridge, is in the collection of Dr. Thackeray, 
Provost of King’s College. 
F. rufus, Temm. Man. d@Ornith. p. 69. 
Moor Buzzarpv.— This species is entirely confined to the fens 
and low grounds, in which situations however it is very plentiful, 
building its nest amongst the tall grass and rushes. I have had 
the newly fledged young brought me from Burwell fen, the second 
week in May: these have uniformly wanted the yellow patch on 
the crown of the head, so conspicuous in the adult bird. It is at 
all times a variable species with respect to plumage, being some- 
times found with the lower half of the abdomen entirely white, 
and the other parts of the body here and there spotted with that 
colour. This and the Common Buzzard bear indiscriminately the 
provincial name of Puttock.
