Lately, two fine specimens of that handsome
bird, the common bittern (botaus stellaris, Steph.),
were shot in this county, the one at the top of Pitch-
croft Hain, near this city, the other in the vicinity of
Tewkesbury—a noted place for many of our aquatic
birds, from the marshy nature of the ground, owing to
the confluence of the Avon and the Severn. X , - orcester-
