INTRODUCTION. 
THE material sent us for the 1920 Report shows that, now 
that the war is at an end, people are more able to make 
ornithological observations and expeditions, as a result of 
which we have received an interesting series of notes. We 
have departed from our former habit in omitting detailed 
records of the nesting of our common birds, but nesting notes 
from correspondents will in future be quite as valuable as in 
the past, as, without full and particular records we should be 
unable to draw conclusions as to average dates of nesting. 
We cordially thank all who have sent us notes in the 
past ; we hope they will continue to do so and induce others 
to join in helping us.
