Miscellaneous Notes. 
H.G. Fordham. 
Redstart (Ruticilla Phcenicurus). — A pair of redstarts frequented 
Mr. A. Cottam’s garden, Essex Road, Watford, during the early 
summer. 
Redbeeast (.Erithacus Rubecula). — Mr. Thrale, of Port Yale, 
Hertford, reports that he watched, during the month of July, a 
pair of robins carefully feeding a young cuckoo which had been 
hatched by them in an old willow-tree.
