March 22 - 4.P.M. Went direct to no 7 - no bird flushed and this sun around nest. Nest contained bits of yolk - all eggs broken and [illegible] - written cycle straight - no trace of feathers or shells on ground. One bird seen over hill - moved about 2 parts to 5 then to seventh 2 birds not seen. Chick was fresh enough so that smell I not move from broken earlier than yesterday. The only thing I can think of is a sparrow or mynaid - possibly cut off. Bills of the living had been torn up either in the process or later. Went with no. 6 - Bird flushed as I came to spot in sullen and I drew - the flush low and 5 as usual when flushed from line. - gave a brake note - then went E side of tree - male had not come for 2 mins. and she approached next from SE and finally went at nest jiggling around and adjusting facing me to N. At this at about 4:40 - In a minute off by She was on nest - male White bird - afraid from field to E
