Equisetum palustre, Lin., Marsh Horsetail, 1424.
The following additions to the list of Forest plants have been kindly sent by H. C. Watson, Esq., all noticed by himself in August, 1861, within three or four miles of Brockenhurst:—
Nasturtium amphibium, Br., Great Yellow Cress, 101.
Viola flavicornis, Sm., Dwarf Yellow-spurred Violet, 135 b.
Epilobium roseum, Schreb., Pale Smooth-leaved Willow Herb, 371.
Epilobium obscurum, Schreb. (For a description of this plant, see Phytologist, new series, vol. ii. p. 19.) 373 b.
Euphrasia gracilis, Fr., 766 b.
Polygonum minus, Huds., Small Creeping Persicaria. (Bromfield in the Flora Vectensis, p. 433, mentions it as growing in the Island.) 938.
Carex binervis, Sm., Green-ribbed Carex, 1239.
Bromus asper, Lin., Hairy Wood Brome Grass, 1349.
To these also may be added Coronopus didyma, mentioned by Bromfield (Phytologist, vol. iii. p. 210) as found along the coast, but which will, perhaps, be met inland.
Gladiolus Illyricus.
The best plan is, perhaps, to arrange the birds in groups, and to give a short analysis of each section, so that the reader may be able to see at a glance the more characteristic as well as rarer species. We will first of all take the Residents. In making out this list I have been principally guided—with of course certain exceptions—by the rule of admitting every bird whose nest has been found upon reliable evidence, as we may be sure that for one nest which is discovered a dozen or more remain undetected.
Peregrine Falcon. (Falco peregrinus, Gmel.) As this bird breeds so near, both in the Isle of Wight and along the Dorsetshire coast, it may be considered as a resident. From different lists before me, ranging over several years, it appears to have been shot and trapped in the Forest at all seasons.
Merlin. (Falco æsalon, Gmel.) See Chapter XXII., pp. 266, 267.
Kestrel. (Falco tinnunculus, Lin.) Numerous.
Sparrow Hawk. (Falco nisus, Lin.) More abundant than even the kestrel, especially in the southern part of the Forest.
Common Buzzard. (Falco buteo, Lin.) Breeds in nearly all the old woods, but is becoming scarce. See Chapter XXII., p. 265.
Marsh Harrier. (Circus æruginosus, Lin.) Rare.
Hen Harrier. (Circus cyaneus, Lin.) See Chapter XXII., p. 268. This bird has become much more numerous of late. No less than six or seven pairs were, I am sorry to say, trapped last year.
Long-Eared Owl. (Strix otus, Lin.) Not unfrequent. I have found it nesting round Mark Ash and Boldrewood. Mr. Rake tells me that Amberwood is also a favourite breeding station.
Barn Owl. (Strix flammea, Lin.) Not so common as might be expected.
Tawny Owl. (Strix aluco, Lin.) The most common of the three. Very often this bird may be seen during the day in the Forest mobbed by thrushes and blackbirds, and taking refuge in some of the large ivy-bushes.
Missel Thrush. (Turdus viscivorus, Lin.) Known throughout the Forest as the “Bull thrush.”
Song Thrush. (Turdus musicus, Lin.)
Blackbird. (Turdus merula, Lin.)
Robin Redbreast. (Sylvia rubecula, Lath.)
Stonechat. (Sylvia rubicula, Lath.) Mr. Rake tells me that it breeds rather plentifully round Ogdens and Frogham, about two miles from Fordingbridge. I have also had the eggs brought me from Wootton.
