THE BOOK OF MIGRATORY BIRDS 29 



To an enthusiastic wild fowl shooter I can imagine a 

 fortnight at Holy Island in hard weather would be a de- 

 lightful excursion, for even if his bag were a light one, he 

 would always have the chance of a few shots, and, at all 

 events, have the pleasure of seeing wild fowl, that is, Brent 

 geese, in considerable numbers.
