   The lark is a very good singing bird. They are found in the mosses. They are supposed to be one of the best singers of the wild birds. It is lovely to listen to the lark as he soars high up in the air singing his song. Their song is made up of different notes such as, "Chee, chee, chee, chitter, chitter, chee," and so on for about fifteen minutes. They build their nest among heather in the moss. They lay about five eggs. You cannot find a larks nest by watching them soaring down to it, because they do not light at the nest. They light about six yards away from the nest, and walk through the heather to it. They have a little path made by doing this.
   The wren is one of the smallest of the wild birds. They are fairly common in this district. The wren builds a round nest with a hole in one side of it. It does not look like a nest at all. They lay about ten eggs. You could not get you hand into the wrens nest. The wren sings a short twiter of a song in a bush. Ig you take an egg away every day from a wren's nest she will not know and she will lay more and more until she thinks she has enough laid. This is called "Milking the wren."
   A blind bat is like a mouse with wings. They are seen flying about catching flies on a spring night. They stay about eaves of houses in the day-time.
