>From - Mike Disbrow, listowner Just thought I'd throw this out there as an interesting tidbit. Anyone know more about this "Lord Desborough"? From a book entitiled "Springtime In Britain" by American nature writer Edwin Way Teale (1972): (Writing of the decline of the bittern (a bird) in Britain...) "Then, on a July day in 1911, among the dense phragmites of a small island in Hickling Broad, Miss Emma L. Turner and James Vincent, head keeper at Lord Desborough's Whiteslea Estate at Hickling, discovered the nest of a bittern. That was the beginning of one of the brightest chapters in British bird protection." This is the only mention of this Lord Desborough in the book. According to Teale, Hickling is "a dozen miles or so northwest of Great Yarmouth" in Norfolk.
