In Richd Bulter’s garden there is a Fly-catcher’s nest built in a very peculiar manner, being placed on a shelf that is fixed against the wall of an out-house, not five feet from the ground;  & behind the head of an old rake lying on the shelf.  On the same spot a pair of the same birds built last year; but as soon as there were young the nest was torn down by a cat.
