Abbey (Earl Craven). A large colony at Rugby, containing about 
fifty nests (Marquis of Hertford). 
Westmoreland.—Dalham Tower (Col. Wilson); and on an 
island in Rydal Lake (Lady le Fleming). About a dozen nests on 
larch and Scotch firs at Ingmire Hall (Miss Upton). A pair built 
on Ramp’s Holme, or Berkshire Island, on Windermere, 1851. 
Wiltshire.—Bowood (or Beauwood), near Melksham (Marquis 
of Lansdowne), about twenty nests, and Longleat, near Bath, on 
old ivy-covered alders on an island (Marquis of Bath). 
Worcestershire—Wedgwood Park, near Droitwich (Sir J. 
Pakington). 
Yorkshire.—One near Boroughbridge (Mr. R. Thompson); one at 
Walton Hall, containing from fifteen to twenty nests upon oak trees 
(Mr. Waterton): one at Hutton Cranswick, near Beverley (Mr. 
Bethel) ; and formerly others at Stork Hill (hence the misnomer for 
the locality) and Scorbro’, near Beverley; Swanland Hall, near 
Hull; and Wetherby Grange (Mr. Gunter). There is one at present 
at Newton, near Walton (Sir George Cholmley), where there are 
about sixty nests on larch trees ; Eshton Hall (Mr. Wilson); and 
Flasby Hall, Gargrave in Craven (Captain Preston). The two 
last mentioned were formerly both at the latter place, on old oaks, 
but the trees being thinned most of the birds migrated to Eshton, 
about a mile distant, where they nest in larch trees. Another 
heronry in this county is at Browsholme Hall, near Clitheroe, in 
the West Riding (Mr. Parker). 
SCOTLAND. 
Aberdeenshire-—In 1853 there was a small colony near the 
manse of Edinglassie, Strathdon. There is one also at Blackhall, 
near Banchory. In 1864 this last-named heronry was further 
east, on the property of Colonel Ramsay, of Banchory House : the 
trees having been cut down, they removed to Blackhall, where 
they are still undisturbed. In 1864 there were only eight or nine 
pairs of birds, but now they are more numerous. The nests are 
placed upon high pine trees. 
Argylishire-—One at Ardnamurchan Point (Mr. Dalgleish), on 
ivy-covered rocks. Mr. Dalgleish informs me that in addition to 
this there are two isolated nests on different parts of the same 
estate, one on the face of a rock in a plantation near the sea, and 
the other on a rock by the side of a mountain stream, on ivy-
