The invasion of Britain by tens of thousands of birds to spend their annual visit there began several weeks ago. Special hostels built on lighthouses, on behalf of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, were packed night after night by migrant birds bound for the shores of the Old Country. The resting places, found on nearly a dozen of the greatest lighthouses of the British coast, consist of rows of perches above and below the lanterns. It costs from £OO to £IOO to equip a lighthouse with perches, ami from £ls to £2O a year to maintain them. Before these resting places were built thousands of birds perished annually around the lighthouses and lightships. Attracted at dusk and in had weather by these beacon lights, the birds fluttered around them in a vain attempt to find a settling place until they fell exhausted into the sea.
