Show London and the Birds. After the news from Strassburg that the storks have returned with the end of the war to the old Alsatian city, and are to be seen daily, as in time past, pluming themselves in the Place de Broglie, conies the nc-ws from London that oneTif the unusual features of this . first spring after the war is the presence pres-ence of the beautiful larger birds in Hie English capital. So writes a correspondent corre-spondent of the Observer, of London. "On the fringes," he says, "kestrels are now quite common, and in many places you may see their wonderful flight. The handsome jays betray their presence pres-ence in many wooded gardens that knew them not, hy their screech, or the white flash of their wings; sparrow-hawks and carrion crows are coming com-ing to be common ; and even the magpie mag-pie has been seen where for years he has been unknown." And now that they have come, no doubt some way will he found of so convincing them of their welcome that they will come again. |
