BIRDS OF HULL. 
33 
ROBIN. 
Merula miqratoria. 
When we came down here, June 4, 1892, 
we found that a pair of Robins had built their 
nest at the back of our cottage in the corner 
near the eaves. The young were hatched and 
the old birds were quite busy feeding them, they 
were fairly grown and soon left the nest. 
1 think the old birds displayed more than 
mere instinct in the choice of a place for their 
nest, as it was completely sheltered on three 
sides by the house, and on the fourth by a 
low barn.
