The Common Buzzard 



( Buteo vulgaris ) LEACH. 



(JT^HIS noble species has of late years become very scarce, and is only occasionally 

 met with in our district. 



The specimen, an exceptionally fine female, measuring thirty-six inches in 

 expanse of wing, was killed on the Eaton Estate, and presented by His Grace 

 The Duke of Westminster, K.G. The bird is represented carrying off a nearly 

 full-grown rat. 



The rockwork is a reproduction of the local Trias or Red-sandstone, and 

 is chiefly modelled in papier-mache.
