Bird Iiife liear Salisbury is the subjeet of a very interesting letter 

 from the Eev. A. P. Morres to the Salisbury Journal, Jan. 20th, 1900. 

 Mr. Morres notes that the Black-headed Gulls arrive now punctually at 

 the end of October, in the Salisbury neighbourhood, and remain there 

 till the middle or end of March, and he attributes the fact to the large 

 increase in their numbers under the Protection Acts. He also notes that 

 no less than five Bitterns were seen or shot (all but two of them shot) in 

 the Salisbury neighbourhood during or after the sharp frosts of the winter, 

 which seem to have brought over large numbers to this country — only, of 

 course, to be everywhere destroyed. Mr. Morres thinks that the Stone 

 Curlew are decidedly on the increase on the downs, as flocks of thirty or 

 forty may sometimes be seen together. It is much to be hoped that this 

 fine bird may be allowed by sportsmen to increase still more on the plain.

 country on the Wiltshire border.
