THE SHORES. 



The original birds were brought from Wales to Penshurst, by the Earl of Leicester's 

 steward, in the reign of James I. Thence, some two centuries later, they migrated to 

 Michel Grove, at Angmering. It may be about twenty years since that the Duke of Norfolk 

 caused two or three trees to be felled near their retreat, and the offended birds immediately 

 commenced their migrations, and, in the course of three seasons, all assembled in Parham 

 Woods. Here, in the thick shelter of pine and spruce-fir, are now about fifty-seven nests.
