BIRDS OF PREY


Kites were common eight N Lon

At the beginning Of the nineteenth

rural landscape in England. b.
hemian traveller who visited England
about 1861 says he never saw so many
kites anywhere as around London
Bridge. The French traveller and nat
uralist Belon. said they were as mum
erous in London as at Cairo, and fed
on the garbage OF the streets and even
OF the Thames. Both kites and ravens
were. in 1855. protected by law in the
City OF London. as they were found
useful as scavengers. Sir Thomas
Boowne in 1862, writing Of ravens
at Norwich. says there were so many
OF them that comparatively few kites
were to be seen there. Birds OF prey,
however. were always hated by poultry
and Samekeepers. and the latter with
guns and guns have mcknight eS-
terminated them through the greater
part OF England, though some still
exist in the Western Midlands and in
Wales and Scotland. In many India
towns kites and crows are still found
useful as scavensers. and, although
there is no law TO afford them pro-
lection. they are seldom molcsted by
inhabitants of the East.
