Excerpt from Bird Notes and News, Vol. 1: A Circular Letter Addressed to Members and Friends of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and to All Interested in Bird Protection; April, 1903-December, 1905

By its means alone can any bird be preserved from the clutches 'of the bird-catcher and the collector during all the months from August or September to February. It is, therefore, of great importance that our decreasing and rare birds, even though they may be but occasional visitors to a county, and also those species persecuted for the cage-bird trade, Should be thus preserved from destruction and such a clause, containing a carefully-compiled list of species, ought to form part of every County Council Order.

Sunday protection, which is of invaluable service in districts infested by the bird-catcher and the week-end sportsman, is in force in seventeen counties and nine county boroughs. There seems no adequate reason why it should not be adopted throughout the country.
