Text Appearing Before Image:
ork of a smalltree, in orchards, woods, rough old hedge-rows, on commons, and by streams. It is abeautifully neat and compact little home.The outside is made of moss, wool, lichens,and cobwebs cleverly woven together, andthe inside is lined with feathers, hair, anddown. Occasionally the structure is decoratedon the outside with bits of paper. From four to six eggs are laid, of a palegreenish blue colour tinged with faintreddish brown, and streaked and spottedwith dark reddish brown. When you find the nest of a Chaffinchthe female hardly ever fails to scold youseverely if you disturb her. Her ringingnotes of protest sound something likepink, pink, pink! Baby Chaffinches are not fed upon seeds,but upon caterpillars and insects. Theyconsume great quantities of food, and inconsequence keep their parents hard atwork all day long long searching for it. They all resemble their mother inplumage until they moult their first coatof feathers in the autumn, when the malesbecome like their father.

It is one ofthe farmers best friends. Gamekeepers usedto think that it was a great enemy of theiryoung pheasants, partridges and grouse, andtrapped and shot the bird in the most merci-less manner. Now they know better andmany of them spare its life. This species feeds upon mice, voles,frogs, and beetles, but occasionally an in-dividual bird will develop the bad habitof killing and eating chicks. In many parts of the country the Kestrelis known as the Windhover/ This is avery good common name, because it describesso well the birds peculiar habit of hangingin the air when scanning the ground belowfor its prey. You can frequently see the Kestrel from 43 44 Baby Birds at Home the windows of a railway train as you glidethrough the country, for although it is arather shy bird, it is bold enough to sit quitestill on a teleg
