That wheatear trapping must have boon aprofitable occupation so long as the birds continued to be plentiful seems certain, for the market price for the shepherds victims was 1s. 6d, a dozen, at which figure the Brighton poulterers were glad to take all they could get. Hauls of surprising magnitude were sometimes made, especial. ly in thundery and ahowory weather, when the birds, whose habit it is at such times to scok shelter in any hole or erovics they can find, would run into the trape so nicely prepared for them. An old shepherd, who had lived for genre near Brighton, told Mr Borror, author of Sussex Birdy," in 1989, that the greatest "taka" he had over had was thirteen dozen in a day, but three cr four dozen in a day was considered good work.
No wonder, then that the wheatears on the South Downs became so decressed in
