" It is very singular that the number of birds observed on Lord 
Kimberley's estate is all but exactly the same, namely 119, as 
were observed by Mr. Waterton at one time or other at Walton 
Hall. It is very gratifying also to see it stated by his Lordship 
that the white owls have become numerous since he gave orders 
for their protection, showing what might be done by other landed 
proprietors if so minded. In one of his notes he says, ' I 
heartily sympathise with you in your desire that the young 
should be trained in habits of kindness to all dumb creatures. 
IS^othing is more hateful than the eagerness which possesses so 
many people to kill every wild creature that comes in their 
way.' " — F. 0. Morris.
