16 SUPPLEMENT TO 
Clevedon, in Somerset, in March, 1879, while it was being mobbed by 
some Sparrows; and, in Cornwall, Mr. Rodd knew of but ene Little Owl, 
which was in the collection of Mr. Grylls, of Helston. 
Montagu’s Harrier (p. 143). 
On May 5th, 1893, Mr. E. A. 8. Elliot watched a Montagu’s Harrier 
for more than an hour, as it was quartering a large upland grass-field 
bordering the coast near South Milton Ley, and searching the ground, 
probably for the nests of small birds, with great assiduity the whole time. 
It repeatedly approached him quite closely. A female Montagu’s Harrier 
shot by him contained the remains of Pipit’s and Lark’s eggs in its 
stomach. At the end of June 1892, we regret to say that a nest of this 
Harrier was destroyed close to Poole; the male bird was shot in the act 
of feeding the nestlings with a young Partridge, and these, three in 
number, were brought alive to the town, where they soon died. 
Buzzard (p. 145). 
Eggs of the Common Buzzard, and also of the Hen-Harrier, were taken 
close to Ilfracombe during the summer of 1893. Five or six Common 
Buzzards are not rarely seen together on wing on the coast near Bolt 
Head in the autumn. (EH. A. 8. E.) 
White-tailed Eagle (p. 150). 
An immature bird of this species was shot at Bude Haven in Noy. 1893; 
weight 8 lbs. (‘ Exeter Gazette,’ Nov. 25th, 1393). 
[ Corrigendum :—at page 151, line 13, instead of “ feet feathered like a 
Grouse,” read “ feathered tarsi.” | 
Iceland Falcon (p. 159). 
We are informed by Messrs. Pratt, the bird-stuffers at Brighton, that 
they received a fine example of the Iceland Falcon which had been shot on 
the Scilly Islands at the beginning of the present year (1895). 
Peregrine Falcon (p. 160). 
[Local name omitted: Game Hawk (Cornwall), Rev. W. Willimott.] 
A fine adult male was killed at Buckland-tout-Saints in October 1893. 
It had frequented the neighbourhood for more than a year, andis supposed 
to have killed, at the very loast, fifty hen Pheasants, but successfully 
eluded all traps and snares set for its destruction. It met its fate through 
its audacious rapacity in striking a hen outside a gamekeeper’s cottage.
