YELLOW WAGTAIL. I09 lating flight. The activities of the parents are most noticeablewhen flycatching for the nesthngs ; the birds fill their beakswith flies, yet always seem able to snatch another without drop-ping any of their load. They visit manure heaps in the farmsand fields, hovering above them, dancing in the air, snappingright and left; they run across the floating weeds on ponds,fluttering their wings when in danger of sinking or taking aflight of a few feet. When on the ground the expressive tailis ever in motion and the head moves rhythmically with therapid steps ; when alighting after a flight the .tail is elevatedand spread. The nest, of grass, moss or any convenient material, andlined with hair, fur, rootlets or feathers, is built on the groundin a meadow or cornfield, and is usually partially sheltered bya clod of earth or clump of grass ; in some districts potatofields are favoured, the nests being on the slope of the furrow.The eggs are laid in April, a second clutch
