Field Notes. 
Hen Harrier in Upper Nidderdale. — On December 9th, 
1932, a keeper on his rounds above Middlesmoor, peeping 
over a wall, observed a large bird feeding upon a partridge. 
Unfortunately he had his gun with him, with the result 
that a fine male Hen Harrier was shot. — R. Fortune. 
Albino British Song Thrush.— This most strikingly 
beautiful bird is incubating her five eggs (early May) in 
the Menston district (Wharfedale). Her mate is in normal 
plumage. We are indebted to the editor of the Bradford 
Telegraph and Argus for the loan of this interesting 
block.— H. B. Booth. 
Later Note — Through the good services of Mr. H. 
Williams, chief reporter to the Bradford Telegraph and Argus, 
I have since been able to visit this interesting bird. She is 
perfectly white with pink eyes, and a very pale shade of yellow 
on her beak. She has been about Menston throughout the past 
winter and has been regularly fed by a lady, at about two to 
three hundred yards from where she has nested. She is there- 
fore extremely tame, and as my chief object was to obtain the 
nature of her progeny, we had gently to push her off the nest. 
I found three almost entirely feathered young birds of the 
normal colouration and an addled egg. The other egg had 
been stolen. — H.B.B.
