- Title
Blackbird's Nest appropriated by a White Wagtail.
- Authors
NICHOLSON, G. W. DE P.
- Abstract
I SEE in NATURE of July 15 (p. 248), a letter to the effect that a wagtail had appropriated a blackbird's nest. I beg to state that on June 12 I had the good fortune to find a similar nest at Coburg in Germany. There was a blackbird's nest behind a summer-house in the garden where I was staying, against the wall about 16 feet from the ground. The white wagtail had lined it with moss, hair, and thread, and laid six eggs in it, which, together with the nest, are now in my collection. The gardener and myself both identified the bird.
