NOTES A N D
OBSERVATIONS
A pair of kingfishers which successfully reared their first brood in their usual site at Great Finborough, chose for their second nest a site about a quarter of a mile from the river and 20 yards inside a wood. Here the Electricity Board had drilled in the ground with their post-holing machine for the purpose of disposing of rubbish, a hole some 2 feet in diameter and many feet deep. T h e hole was also surrounded by metal railings and in it, at 6 inches below ground level, the kingfishers bored their second nesting Chamber and reared four young.
