Davenport (Henry Saunderson), nat. 1853 
Mr. H. S. Davenport, of Hamilton House, Melton Mow- 
bray, was born December 27, 1853, at Skeffington Kectory, 
Leicestershire, and was educated at Lucton School, in 
Herefordshire, whence, with a Pierrepont Scholarship of 
£75 a year for four years, he proceeded to Worcester College, 
Oxford. The study of birds was always a natural bent 
with him, his school district, he states, being conspicuously 
rich in birds, and before he went up to Oxford he had all the 
call-notes, alarm-notes, songs, nesting habits, etc. “ at his 
fingers’ ends.” Having his time at his own disposal, he has 
been able to devote it to ornithological field-work. In the 
Ornithologist for 1896 he raised an interesting discussion on 
the breeding habits of the Sparrow-hawk, a subject resumed 
in the Zoologist for 1900.
