A BIRDLOVER'S YEAR 



the insect-eating birds are equally provided 

 for. 



That birds are mighty travellers we clearly 

 see, and year by year most of us look forward 

 with delight to the reappearance of the 

 summer visitors to our woods and lanes. 

 It, therefore, behoves us to accord them as 

 much protection as we can, doing all in our 

 power to further their increase, remembering, 

 as the great theologian and philosopher, 

 St. Thomas Aquinas, wrote, " Ubi aves ibi 

 angeli."
