14.*--"At Didlington Hall, the only place in England at which the antient
amusement of flying hawks at herons is practised, it has been customary
to turn off the birds taken alive, with a ring attached to one leg,
showing the time and place at which they were captured. In a late
Bristol paper there is an account of a heron having been shot near
Carmarthen with a ring round one leg having the inscription: 'Major
Wilson, Didlington Hall, Norfolk, 1822.'"
