BRITISH BIRDS. 
Our Native Birds : The nest in the illustration (see plate on 
p. 204) is that of the Willow Wren, and was found in the grass by 
the roadside near Efhngham. 
One day last May I had a pleasant ramble, with the members 
of the National British Bird and Mule Club. Turning from Cobham 
we walked through some lovely country, keeping for some time close 
to the river ; the bird life we saw was both numerous and interesting, 
over fifty different species being noted during the course of the day. 
After lunch at Effingham we walked across common and 
meadow land to Horseley where we finished up with a tea. Perhaps 
the most notable nest we saw was a Moor-hen'a with eggs in it.
