duck, coots, moorhens and others
build their nests either on the banks
OF river or floating on Its surface at

These birds, 1t is said, never by chance
get caught by floods. and If you see a
swans nest, say, foot above the river
level you may be sure that during the
next few weeks there will not be rain
enough to raise the river above that
height The common robin knows a
