The little creatures were no doubt skulking here and there in the hollows of the furrows, while the mothers screeched "Tuck in your tail;" "run back a little;" ** keep quiet, my darling," to their extremely active and dexterous offspring. Ha ! a bundle of feathers, and one long leg ! Feathers black and white, surely a magpie.
No, these birds are very scarce here, and too knowing to be in such a mess. The foot has no opposing toe, so it is not a bird of the woods, and the limb is long. Yes ; It ...can only be one of these unhappy matrons, that has ^doubtless fallen a prey to the spoiler in seeking to save its young. A fox was shot last week by the keeper, so they are about, and this must be some of their work.
We go on, peeping with schoolboy pleasure into the cosy little nest of the shilfa, the eggs evidently nearly hatched.
158 BENDERLOCH.
May 13. as the gentle little mother sits so close \ we could easily have captured her as she sat Here, too, is another elegant little nest ; that of the rose linty, (Linaria minor) so well-known in Scotland, with its eggs so beautifully marked that they always convey a thrill of pleasure through us at the very sight Overhead the boughs are thick, but the trees pre low, and so we see to the topmost branches.
