KINGFISHER FEEDING ITS YOUNG.By A. W. Seaby. ALONG THE RIVER i93 to find the same number of meadow-pipits nests in a shorttime. Cuckoos eggs found in reed-warblers nests aresuffused with a peculiar tint of olive green beneath the usualvague freckles ; this rough approximation to the colour oftheir brother-eggs is noticeable if we compare them withthe greyer cuckoos eggs to be found in the pied wagtailsnests in the willows, or the browner type which are usual inthe sedge-warblers nests among the bushes and under-growth. The young cuckoo is naked and copper-coloured,and squats at the bottom of the deep conical nest like atoad in a hole. Its task of murdering its mates is even moreremarkable when it is born in a reed-warblers nest thanusual, for the sides of the nest are unusually steep and high.This is of no apparent effect in discouraging the murderousinstinct of the little changeling; its effect is to prevent thelegitimate eggs being blown out when the reed-beds dip deepto the strokin
