FIELD SPORTS FOR JULY.
(From the Annals of Sporting and Fancy Coaette. )
The months of May and June are highly interesting to the
sportsman, particularly to the shooter ; not, however, on CC.
count of any active employment they may afford him, but inas.
much as his future hopes materially depend on the kind of
weather that occurs during this period. Grouse are, in a great
degree, an exception ; as the breeding system for these birds may
be calculated a month gather at least than that for either the
partridge or pheasant. Grouse, also, from their nature, as
well as from the circumstance of their nests being formed
among almost impenetrable heath or ling, are less liable to be
Influenced by the weather, and cannot fail to be abundant. In
regard to partridges and pheasants, which are more generally
spread over the face of the country than grouse, it has been re-
peatedly observed, in our Annals, that the welfare of the rising
progeny of these birds principally depends on the state of the
weather during the months of May and June. This period
cannot be too dry for the breeding of these birds, however un-
propitious such a state may be to the hopes of the huabandmen.
On the 12th of June, the writer saw a covey of eleven young
patridges in Altcar, in Lancashire, the property of the Earl of
Sefton.; and these little birds were able to raise themselves on
the wing, and continue a flight of n few score yards. In the
same neighbourhood, lie observed several pheasants' nests on the
same day, which were deserted ; the birds had evidently hatch-
ed ; egg-shells remaining in the nest, but not n single addle
egg. From extensive observations, we are induced to suppose
that the hatching of birds in general took place rather sooner
this season than usual ; young rooks were ready to fly at an
early period ; and a titmouse, and also a throstle, which haVe
for years formed their nests in the writer's garden, produced
their young unusually early. The swallow tribe appears less
numerous than usual. The wheat crops, and corn in general,
never looked more promising. Angling may be now enjoyed
in all its varieties. All kinds of fresh water Ash will feed this
month ; but barbel, roach, dace, jack, pike, and perch. being
not yet fully recovered front spawning, which always leaves them
in a lean and languid state, are alike unfit for the table and in-
different to the baits offered by the angler, especially dur.
mg the heat of mid-day ; those, therefore, who wish to
pursue this sport should angle for them in the morning
and evening. Trout are still in excellent condition, and
the fly-fishermen in July has it all his own way : with choice
flies, and occasionally using the spinning bait, he may expect
to bag numerous and heavy trout. The
.young angler, for the
sake of practice, or such as are satisfied with the small fry, may
rake for gudgeons anti whip for dace and bleak, and expect
plenty of sport during the remaining summer months. If July
prove dry and the waters become low, let those who delight in
wiggling get their tackle in order, anti by using it skilfully,
they will kill some very large fine eels; July, generally speak-
ing, being the most favourable for this sport.
