Note 75 — Appendix A Specific Note on the Wild-Geese of Spain
Reading edition
In Jutland we found some pintails’ nests rather cunningly concealed in holes upon open grassy islets in marine lagoons not unlike our Spanish marismas; others were on bare ground, though occasionally hidden among thistles. Here also the eggs numbered eight or nine. See Ibis, 1894, p. 349.
