ABBoTsBuRY swANNERY.
One of the Most Ancient Game Pre-

Lord Ilehester's swannety at Alb
botsbury is one of the most ancient
game preserves of England. 1t has eN-
listed for 500 years. the swans being
the property of the abbots, from which
the place takes its name. and they were
entitled to legal protection. Henry H..
enacted penalties for destroying them.
Anytee who stole swans eggs from
the nest was liable 10 be imprisoned

Strangways. the ancestor of the pres
ent Lord leicester, and raised the num-
Der of swans from SEQ TO 500 birds.
The home of the swaus today is as
nearly wild as possible, and is fine
combination OF sea and land, the beau
ties of which are unriyale5. Bamhoos,
pampas grass. fuehsias and exotic
shrubs flourish. When not engaged
with the Swans the men on the estate

albatrosses and compete for nesting
ground, very ancient habit peculiar
to the Abbotsbury birds. Each pair
crouches down on its choice of land,
and as there are perhaps 200 nests over
two acres the swans cover the fields
like a flock of snowy sheep. The old
birds grab the best places, and were

swan sits on the ground and gathers
