An unusual sight is to be seen at Bonny Glen, near Marton (says the Wanganui Herald). There are some 12 acres thickly covered with, gorse in the vicinity of the cemetery, and the patch is used, as a nesting ground by a huge flock of starlings. “It is a wonderful sight to see them coming home to roost between 5 o’clock and 5.30 every evening,” he said. “The yellow bloom is quickly covered up when they settle, and it appears as though a fire has spread through the gorse, so thick is the swarm of bird*."
