Excerpt: ... he stood on it. There were scarcely any stones in the nest, which contained one egg. I think from the way they fought that both were cocks. For two reasons I make special mention of the occurrence, first, because of all the fights I ever saw this was the longest and most relentless, and, secondly, because the nest being in such an isolated position it seemed curious that there could be any mistake about its ownership. Such, however, seemed to be the case, and hour after hour, during the whole day, they fought again and again. After each bout of a few minutes both birds became so exhausted that they sank panting to the ground, evidently suffering from thirst and at the limit of their endurance.

In the course of a walk through the rookery considerable diversity in the choice of nesting sites was to be noticed.
