Most of these, I believe, came in with man and his disconcerting agriculture. As to the pond and river snails, so far as I could observe, they mostly reached us later, being conveyed in the egg on the feet of stray waders or water-birds, which gradually peopled the island after the Glacial epoch.
Yarrel, W., on the habits of the Cyprinidae; on Raia clavata; on the characters of the male salmon during the breeding season; on the characters of the rays; on the gemmeous dragonet; on colours of salmon; on the spawning of the salmon; on the incubation of the Lophobranchii; on rivalry in song-birds; on the trachea of the swan; on the moulting of the Anatidae; on the young of the waders.
I think it very probable, mine having been only flying visits, though extending over several years and at various times of year, I may have omitted some birds, especially amongst the smaller Warblers and the Pipits, and perhaps amongst the occasional Waders.
"And I dislike her!" Eleanor said to herself. She sat there alone, thinking of Edith's defects her big mouth, her bad manners, her loud voice; and as she thought, watching the waders all the while with tear-blurred eyes until a turn in the current hid them she felt this new dislike flowing in upon her: "He talks to her; and forgets all about me!" ... She was deeply hurt.
That ever was the burden of its tidings youth in the shady woods, waders through the wet meadows, boy and girl at the hedgerow stile, bathers in the booming surf, sweet, idle hours on grassy, windy hills, long strolls down moonlit lanes everywhere in far-off lands, fingers locked and bursting hearts and longing lips from all the world tidings of unquenchable love.
It feeds on the Crustacea which it picks up on the shore, as well as on fish on which it pounces, as they swim by, from some branch overhanging the water. It is about the size of a duck, its legs being shorter, in proportion to its body, than those of waders in general. On the top of its head the male has a full, long plume of black feathers drooping over the back.
"I have got a pair of big gutta-percha boots they were my father's waders once, and I found them, and have hidden them in one of the chests, and I tuck everything into them so there are no marks. It is enchanting." "And do you often have these nocturnal outings, you odd little girl?" Cheiron said, wonderingly. "Not very.
The marshes are the home of many a bird like the Redshank. They are all waders and diggers. They live much as he does, and so they have the long beak and legs, and the spreading feet, to fit them for that life. We have now looked at a few sea birds, shore birds, and a marsh bird. Many inland birds, too, are fond of the shore.
Some of the soldiers had the same idea. In the front-line trench a small group of Yorkshire lads were chaffing one another. "Going to hang your boots up outside the dugout?" asked a lad, grinning down at an enormous pair of waders belonging to a comrade. "Likely, ain't it?" said the other boy. "Father Christmas would be a bloody fool to come out here... They'd be full of water in the morning."
And so with the long slender toes of the waders, which are so well fitted for walking over floating aquatic plants.
