Long-Tailed Titmouse 



( Acredula caudata ) LiNN^us. 



MALE, FEMALE, NEST, AND EGGS. 



TCT British bird's nest can surpass the nest of this species, either in design or 

 CI > excellency of workmanship. 



This nest is in situ in a blackthorn bush and had no other protection ; it 

 was built very early in the spring, just as the buds were bursting. These latter 

 have been carefully reproduced and the surroundings preserved.
