NATURE NOTES 
lawn of Grenville Lodge, where a halt was made for tea, attracted considerable 
attention. Two or three nightingales at the Beeches were heard in particularly 
full song, and chaffinches, blackbirds, thrushes, wrens, and whitethroats were 
making the most of their vocal powers. Owing to the heavy rain the walk 
through the Beeches was necessarily hurried ; still it appeared from such an 
inspection as the weather permitted to be made, that the huts which lately dis- 
figured the views had been removed, and in the opinion of the Selbornians the 
tract of ancient woodland, with the trees showing in all the freshness of what 
should be early summer, remained unspoiled and as beautiful as ever. Coming in 
for remark, too, was the dash of yellow colour furnished by the azaleas blooming 
in the wood.
