by the time we had watched this the
crons had settled down quietly on their
nests again, and the wind rocked the trees

great deal of bother he managed to find an
easier nest, and then VIC were shown the
frightful little creature, who seemed to be
about a week old.
He certainly made noise enough for his
age; and at present possessed an enormous
stomach, and very short legs, with large

the head well developed; the neck also was
as long in proportion as tnat belonging to
