Tue meeting was chiefly devoted to an exhibition of 
lantern-slides from photographs taken by Members and 
others. 
Miss E. L. Turner showed some most interesting photo- 
graphs, taken in Norfolk in 1918, of the nests, eggs, and 
young of the Bittern, which, thanks to careful protection, 
appears to be re-establishing itself in its old haunts, 
Miss Mavp Havizanp showed some charming slides of 
British birds with their nests and eggs. 
Mr. W. Rowan showed a series of interesting photographs 
illustrating the nesting of the Merlin on one of the moors 
in West Yorkshire. ) 
A nest was continually under observation from three to 
four days after the hatching of the eggs to the .time the 
young birds flew. Several nights were spent in the tent, six 
feet from the nest or at a distance at which observation 
was aided by the use of binoculars. Thus the behaviour of 
the birds during the most interesting times of the day— 
morning and evening—was studied.
