EOOKEEIES 



Formerly there were rookeries in 

 Ooquetdale at Biddleston, Har- 

 bottle, and Burradon. The pro- 

 prietors had them destroyed, be- 

 cause they considered rooks de- 

 structive to game. 



Togston, where the rooks were in- 

 tentionally molested till they 

 left. • 



Barras Bridge rookery caused by 

 the extension of Newcastle,- and 

 the trees dying out.

Baviagton, fires made imder roost- 

 ing trees. 



Chipchase and Walwick partly 

 destroyed by cutting down of
