By John Morgan, who, with E. G. Malindine and his camera, went out into the countryside to see how some of the wild birds of Britain were settling down in their homes for the summer.

**Too few of this shy lovely bird, the great crested grebe, ure left to us.

The male grebe does the sitting and the hatching out."

Steamers

0.000121st May,

THE wild birds are nesting so, like schoolboys again, two of us went look- ing for some I had heard about.

Within sight of a busy main road in the heart of Britain the comera man and myself came across two of the rarer species "sitting," the heron and the almost extinct great crested grobe.

The heronry is at Buscot Park, Berkshire, on the estate of Lord Faringdon.

There, a dozen habited nests made of stout hedgerow are lashed criss-cross securely into the topmost boughs of tall willows and cims. Fewer than ten such heronrics are left in Britain.

For an hour we waited lying beside a long range six-foot camera, more like an astrano- mer's sky-penetrating telescope to look at.

The male herons were away on far-distant fishing expeditions. It would be evening before they returned with the family meal.

One matron poked her head up every now and then. Already baby herons had been hatched out under her. But, curiosity aroused, one by one the others came off their nests for an overhead inspection flight of the intruders for below. So came the camera man's chance.

But there was no shifting the heron with her newly hatched litle ones nestling snugly under her wide folded wings.

The haunt of the great created grebe must be kept a closer accret. Too few of this shy, lovely water bird are left to us.

More than another hour the camera man walted in his "hide" less than a dozen yards from the mud-plastered floating nest with its four precious egge.

Once the eggs are laid, the male grebe does the rest. He does the sitting and hatching out. A kingfisher flashed past, 1 dazzling spectacle of heavenly blues.

Moving farther on we found, squatting on the sunny edges of a woodland glade, wild geese nesting, and down a pretty lane a white peacock strutting and preening before his lady love. And on another smaller sheet of water. close to Father Thames, a pair of black swans. their scarlet beaks flaming in the afternoon sun.
