THE BUZZARD AT HOME 



By ARTHUR BROOK. 



With 12 Photographic Plates, 3s. 6d. net. 

 The photographs, which are here first published, have special interest 

 to naturalists as they show that shy bird, the Buzzard, in different attitudes 

 in flight as well as engaged in various interesting domestic duties. The 

 observations made by the author during his many hours of watching are 

 also of very considerable value.
