Nick Chandler : Free Time 1940s,

Birds nesting was a favourite in the spring; terrible to think about it now, taking birds eggs.  Another favourite was after the swan had had her young there was always a  couple of addled eggs left in the nest and we used to put them on the railway line. Can you imagine the stench when they took the train back to the shed to clean it at night!  Nick Chandler b 1937
