M. T. Jones, Esq., of Lesketh How, Ambleside, for information. He kindly sent me a letter, from which is the following extract : — "I find the Herons have not built upon Rydal for three or four years. When they did build there they built in rather old Scotch and silver firs of late years ; but I am told that some twenty years ago they built in other kinds of trees, oaks especially. And when at one time they were disturbed at building time by some people living at Nab Cottage, they left the isla...nd and built in larch trees, in a plantation in the side of Loughrigg, west of the Lake. I well remember three or four nests a year within the last fifteen years, but I understand they were much more abundant about twenty years ago. The birds often come over to feed, and are seen about the rivers and the lake ; but they have, I fear, altogether ceased to build there. — Lesketh How, Dec. 26, 1876. It is much to be regretted that, according to Mr. Jones' account, the Rydal heronry was broken up by intruders, and it is probable that other vexatious disturbances have scared the inhabitants and driven them permanently from any building place in the Lake District.
