NESTING TIME


the majority of cases, begins activities in May or June when nesting time is in full swing. He then takes advantage of the bird's natural instinct to tend her young or incubate the eggs. In this way most of the photo­ graphs we see are of the bird approaching the nest or sitting close. All very true to type you will agree but not very imagina­ tive. Of course the odd worker has from time to time shown us something entirely different but these are rare and far between. The majority are content to sit in a “hide" which by careful introduction have been brought to within a few feet of the nest. The more adventurous have set up “hides” by the tide line or in typical feeding localities and so obtained the entirely different shot of a far more interesting and natural subject.
