[§ 3736. Four—Aldeburgh, Suffolk, 27 April, 1878. “A. & 
BLN’ 
From a nest shewn to my brother Edward by one Fisher, a man some thirty 
years old, and by his own account a great “egger” at and about the place, of 
whom we heard on our arrival there the day before. The nest was on the 
border of the “haven” or “mere” to the north of the town, between the 
marsh-land and the beach or “craig-path.” I went with my brother and the 
man to see it and we took the eggs, The nest seemed to have had a good 
many fingers in it aud was, I believe, deserted. It was deep in a tuft of coarse 
grass and rushes, but on quite dry ground, and formed of a good deal of dry 
grass. We were shewn also another nest with two eggs, in a “whin”-bush 
(the first time I have met with the word whin, for furze, in Suffolk), and also 
on dry ground, between the marsh and the “craig-path.” We saw some Red- 
shanks about, but no great number, though more of them than of Lapwings. 
The next day we walked to the wet ground, to the westward of the railway, 
and saw at least twenty-five pairs of Redshanks. To the southward we walked 
some three miles and a half, between the sea and the river, and saw only two 
pairs, but Fisher told us that had we gone a little further we might have picked 
up Redshanks’ eggs as fast as we liked. On the 25th, between Brightlingsea 
and Wyvenhoe, we had counted twenty-six Redshanks from the railway 
carriage as we went along. |

From a nest shewn to my brother. There had been four eggs, but three 
were found to have been sucked by rats when he went to it. The egg was 
about half-incubated. The nest was about thirty yards from the Broad, and 
well concealed in a tuft of coarse grass. There were a few Redshanks flying 
about. |
