NATURE'S CAROL SINGERS. 



It is a great pity that it should be so 

 much persecuted by egg collectors, some 

 of whom seem bent upon ruining its 

 chances of ever becoming a regular 

 British breeding species. To listen to the 

 bird's exquisite song for ten minutes is 

 a far greater pleasure than to gaze for 

 a month at its empty egg shells hi a 

 cabinet.
