PREFACE,

THE twenty-sixth volume of the British Ornithologists’
Club contains the Report of our Migration Committee on
the movements in England and Wales of a number of
common migratory species during the autumn of 1908 and
the spring and early summer of 1909. The records for the
autumn of 1908 were exceptionally numerous and have been
more fully dealt with than in former years. The present
Report differs from those previously issued in containing
special chapters giving a detailed account of the observations
which have been made and forwarded from the various
lighthouses and light-vessels, not only during the autumn
of 1908, but in the spring of 1909.

The Members of our Migration Committee are jointly
responsible for the following Report.

REPORT

ON THE IMMIGRATIONS OF SUMMER-RESIDENTS IN
THE SPRING OF 1909.

INTRODUCTORY.

Tae Fifth Annual Report, which deals with the spring-
migrations of 1909 and the autumn-records for 1908, has
been drawn up, as far as is practicable, on the lines of the
previous Reports, so as to afford facilities in comparing the
results of one year with another. The facts noted in the
Report are, as usual, based solely on the records for the
current year. Owing to the amount of work involved in
preparing these Reports, the Committee have added three
gentlemen to their number—Commander H. Lynes, Mr. W.
R. Ogilvie-Grant, and Mr. W. L. Sclater. Mr. J. L.
Bonhote, who has carried on the arduous duties of Secretary
since the Committee was formed, has now handed over that
portion of the work to Dr. N. F. Ticehurst.

The arrival of our summer-immigrants commenced about
the 9th of March, but between the 20th and 26th of that
month the arrival of the species specially dealt with had
practically ceased, although between those dates the light-
house records showed a very heavy migration of Starlings,
Thrushes, &e.

The spring-immigration was at its height from the 9th of
April to the 13th of May, and although there were, as usual,
some specially large ‘ waves,’ the stream of migrants was fairly
continuous between those dates, and on three occasions only
during that period, viz. on the 10th of April, the 28th-30th
of April, and the 7th of May, the arrival of a large number of

B

10

species on our shores was not in active progress. The main
immigrations took place on the 9th, 17th and 25th of April,
and on the 2nd—5th, 10th and 13th of May, the largest being
on the 17th of April, when the arrival of at least twenty
species was observed.

The Wheatear (17th of March-15th of May) and the
Swallow (21st of March-17th of May) were the species
whose arrival was spread over the longest period, though in
the case of the former the later arrivals probably belonged
to the large northern race, which only visits our shores on
migration. With most of the species the migration period
lasted for about a month.

The reports from the south-west (Devonshire and Corn-
wall) were very scanty, and no records were received from
the Cornish or Devon Lights ; but this may have been partly
due to the absence of fogs, which usually occur in the Channel
during the early part of May. In consequence of this the
western arrival of several species has been difficult to trace,
and they have been placed in route B and marked with an
asterisk, to imply that direct evidence of their arrival in the
west was not forthcoming. ‘Their arrival, however, in that
quarter was indicated by a comparison of the notes from
Staffordshire and Shropshire with those from Hampshire
and further east.

A. Species arriving solely on the western half of the south
coast.

White Wagtail, Land-Rail, Common Sandpiper.

B. Species arriving along the whole of the south coast, but
first and chiefly on its western half.

Wheatear, Blackcap*, Garden-Warbler, Chiffchaff,
Willow-Warbler *, Wood- Warbler *, Sedge-Warbler *,
Spotted Flycatcher, [Pied Flycatcher ?], Swallow,
House-Martin, Sand-Martin, Swift.

C. Species arriving along the whole of the south coast, but
first and chiefly on its eastern half.
Redstart, Whinchat, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat;

11

Grasshopper- Warbler, Reed-Warbler, Yellow Wagtail,
Tree-Pipit, Nightjar, Cuckoo.

D. Species arriving along the south-east coast from Essex
to Hants.
Nightingale, Red-backed Shrike, Wryneck, Turtle-
Dove.

The Ring-Ouzel has been omitted, as the records were not
sufficient to justify its inclusion in any definite route, but the
evidence, such as it was, favoured a western arrival during
the early part of its migration, while the later birds, possibly
en route for more northerly quarters, seem to have passed
through the south-eastern counties.

The autumn-records have been rather more numerous and
are dealt with more fully than in former years, but, as might
be expected, in the case of many species they are not suffi-
ciently complete to show any definite movements. All
properly authenticated records*have been included.

The thanks of the Committee are due to Miss H. V. Baxter
(who kindly forwarded her records from the Isle of May), to
the Master and Elder Brethren of Trinity House, and to all
observers and light-keepers who have kindly assisted with
their records. Full advantage has also been taken of notes
published in the various Natural History periodicals, amongst
which we may specially notice Mr. J. H. Gurney’s “ Norfolk
Notes” in the ‘ Zoologist,’ and Mr. J. L. Bonhote’s ‘‘ Notes
from Holland ” in the ‘ Ornis.’

W HATHER-REPORT

FOR THE

PERIOD COVERED BY THE SPRING-IMMIGRATION OF 1909.

THE weather-reports are abstracted from the weekly returns
of the Meteorological Office, and include the conditions
prevailing between

Parallels of Latitude 40° N. and 60° N.,
m Longitude 10° E. and 10° W.

Special attention has been paid to the conditions observed
over the north coast of Spain, the Bay of Biscay, the coast
of France bounding the Bay, the English Channel, and our
southern shores.

It is suggested that the weather-reports should themselves
be consulted, as the maps which they contain are much
easier to follow than a merely verbal description.

Summary of Weather- Conditions.

March: Ist week. Very wintry. On March the 3rd the thermo-
meter on the grass in Wiltshire went below
zero Fahrenheit.

2nd week. Wintry and unsettled.

8rd week. Unsettled, with snow and sleet showers in the
early days of the week, but with some bright
intervals in the latter part.

THE RING-OUZEL.
Turdus torquatus L.

Tue records of this species were so scanty that it was
impossible to trace its arrival or movements through the
country with any certainty. The first arrival reported was
that of a single bird in Shropshire on the 9thof March. Up
to the end of the month stray birds were recorded in Hamp-
shire, Wiltshire, Brecon, Merioneth, Derbyshire, Nottingham-
shire and Yorkshire. There was an increase in the last-named
county on the 9th of April, and a great increase on the 12th.
On the 17th an arrival was noted in Sussex, but all the
other records referred to stragglers, chiefly single birds.

Only two examples were reported from the light-stations,
viz., one killed at Anvil Point (Dorset) on the 14th, and one
at St. Catherine’s (Isle of Wight) on the night of the 16th
of April.

Ring-Ouzels were reported to be nesting in Yorkshire on
the 17th of April, and to have hatched their young in Derby-
shire on the 9th of May.

THE WHEATHAR.
Sawicola enanthe (1..).

THs species was first observed on March the 8th at the South
Foreland Lighthouse (Kent), where a single bird was seen at
9 a.m. In Hampshire a few were noticed on the 17th, anda
good many more arrived continuously till about the 27th.
Other notices in March referred chiefly to single birds,
generally males, which were observed over the greater part
of England and Wales.

In the early part of April small immigrations were observed
in Kent, Sussex and Hampshire between the Ist and the 9th,
while in Sussex birds were reported to be already pairing at
that early date. Along the western half of the south coast
Wheatears arrived in some numbers in Cornwall on April
the 5th, and a large increase was recorded in Devonshire on
April the 7th and the following days.

At St. Catherine’s light, Isle of Wight, large numbers
were observed on the nights of April 16th/17th and 17th/18th,
and others, though not so many, on April 13th/14th, 20th/21st
and 23rd/24th. This was probably the main immigration of
this species, for after that date Wheatears appear to have
been numerous and generally distributed throughout the
southern and midland counties, as well as in North Wales,
where they had arrived by April the 23rd. Large numbers
reached Yorkshire on April the 28th.

Another considerable migration was noticed at St.
Catherine’s light on the nights of May 10th/11th, 13th/14th
and 14th/15th; but the movements of these birds were rather
ditficult to trace, as by that date nearly all the Wheatears
which had already’arrived had commenced to nest. In Kent
many were observed nesting between the 26th of April and
the 1st of May, and during the first week in May breeding-
records were received from all parts of the country.

THE WHINCHAT.
Pratincola rubetra (L.).

Wiru the exception of two or three stragglers observed in
Cornwall and Devon, this species apparently entered the
country on the south coast between Dorset and Kent.

Between the 3rd and the 13th of April a few early stragglers
were observed in Dorset and Surrey, apparently spreading
to Cheshire and Gloucestershire from the former, and to
Northamptonshire from the latter county during the end
of that period.

The first marked immigration took place between the 14th
and 18th of April, the birds arriving on the south coast
between Dorset and Kent.

A second influx occurred between the 20th and 24th of
April in the neighbourhood of Hampshire.

From the 25th of April to the 4th of May the species
gradually arrived at its usual breeding localities and com-
menced nesting, but the records from localities where the
species is known to be numerous were disappointingly
few.

Between the 8th and 16th of May further small immigra-
tions by way of Hampshire, Sussex and Kent took place and
were followed by an increase in Surrey, Middlesex, North-
ampton, Cambridge and Norfolk.

In Warwick a nest in process of building was recorded on
the 2nd of May, and a finished nest was found in Cambridge
on the 9th ; others were reported from Cheshire on the 16th,
Yorkshire on the 18th and Carnarvon on the 20th.

THE REDSTART.
Ruticilla pheencurus (L.).

A FEW stragglers apparently reached our shores during the
first twelve days of April, but no large immigration took place
till the 16th. On that night a vast immigration of 14
different species was observed at St. Catherine’s light, Isle of
Wight, when hundreds of Redstarts were seen and twenty
were killed. The wind was west and the sky overcast. The
following night somewhat similar observations were again
made at St. Catherine’s light, also at the Owers lght-
vessel (Sussex) and at Anvil Point light, in Dorset. ‘The
immediate result of this great immigration was the appear-
ance of Redstarts on the 18th and 19th in Cambridgeshire,
Staffordshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Shropshire, Notting-
hamshire and Radnor ; an increase was also noted in Sussex,
Hertfordshire and Berkshire. By the 22nd the birds had
extended as far nerth as Cumberland and Northumberland.

More migrants were noticed on the night of the 23rd/24th
of April at St. Catherine’s light, and these perhaps accounted
for the arrival of the species in Glamorgan and Brecon
and for an increase in Radnor, on the western side, and:
in Cambridgeshire, in the east. A migratory movement
along the east coast was indicated by the occurrence of
Redstarts at Winterton lighthouse (Norfolk) on the night of
the 24th/25th of April.

A third period of immigration seems to have taken place
about the 2nd of May, on which date an increase was noticed
in Hssex and Surrey, and on the following day in
Northamptonshire, Merioneth, Denbigh and Cumberland.

A nest with three eggs was reported from Cambridgeshire
on the 5th of May, but no more were recorded till a nest

with eggs was found in Kent on the 19th of May.

THE NIGHTINGALE.
Daulias luscinia (L.).

Tue first arrival was recorded in Kent on the 7th of April.
Up to the middle of that month stragglers were reported in
Devon, Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey, Berkshire, Wiltshire,
Buckingham and Suffolk. Between the 14th and 18th of
April a marked influx took place, as was shewn by the in-
erease of Nightingales in the southern and south-eastern
counties, as well as by a report from St. Catherine’s light,
Isle of Wight, that many had been seen on the night of the
16th/17th and six on the 17th/18th. From that date the
species began to spread rapidly over the country, reaching
Monmouth, Herefordshire and Norfolk on the 18th of April,
and Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire on the 19th. Fresh
immigrants evidently continued to arrive between the 22nd
and 25th, as was shown by the increase in the southern
counties between those dates, and examples were killed at
St. Catherine’s light on the nights of the 23rd/24th and
24th/25th. By that time the birds were becoming well dis-
tributed over the country, within the limits of their range,
and by the first week in May they had begun to settle
down in their haunts. Migratory movements, however, con-
tinued up to the middle of the month.

A nest with five eggs was found in Sussex on the 4th of
May, two nests, with two and four eggs respectively, were
recorded in Surrey on the 14th, and a pair were observed
building in Berkshire on the 7th.

THE WHITETHROAT.
Sylvia cinerea Bechst.

Dunrine the first half of April stragglers (chiefly single birds)
were reported from most of the extreme southern and eastern
counties, as well as from Leicestershire, Staffordshire, Derby-
shire and Lancashire. On the 16th of April an increase in
numbers was reported from Hampshire, and at St. Catherine’s
light hundreds were seen between midnight and 3 A.M. on
the 16th/17th, and large numbers between 10 p.m. and mid-
night on the 17th. At 3 a.m. on the 18th others were noted
at Owers light-vessel (Sussex).

This first large ‘wave’ of immigration appears to have
spread chiefly over the southern portion of the country.
Records of many from Yorkshire on the 20th and of an
increase in Staffordshire and Lancashire on the 21st were the
only reports of any consequence from’ the more northern
counties up to the 23rd, on which date the arrival of a single
bird in Northumberland was recorded.

A second immigration took place on the nights of the
21st/22nd and 23rd/24th of April, when very large numbers
arrived at St. Catherine’s light. At the same time a general
increase in numbers was observable throughout the whole of
Hngland and Wales, and a northward extension of range
was marked by the first arrival in Westmoreland on the 25th
and in Cumberland on the 28th. In both counties a further
increase was observed on the 3rd of May.

A third ‘wave’ of immigrants occurred between the 9th
and 15th of May, numbers of birds being recorded from
St. Catherine’s on almost every night, while on the 14th/15th
great numbers were killed and others were seen at the
Kentish Knock light-vessel off the north coast of Kent.

April and in Oxfordshire on the 3rd of May, and a nest with
eggs was observed in Cheshire on the 2nd of May.

THE LESSER WHITETHROAT.

Sylvia curruca (L.).

THE earliest arrival of this bird was noted in Hertfordshire
on the 8th of April. During the ten days following a few
stragglers were observed near the south and east coasts and
even as far north as Derbyshire and Lancashire. The first
considerable immigration, however, seems to have commenced
about the 18th or 19th of April, and to have continued till
the 25th. Flights were observed at St. Catherine’s light, Isle
of Wight, on the nights of April 21st/22nd and 22nd/23rd,
and on the 24th and 25th increases were noted in Kent,
Suffolk, Hertfordshire, Warwickshire and Derbyshire, and
first arrivals were: recorded in Wiltshire, Oxfordshire,
Berkshire and Cambridgeshire. Again, between the 2nd and
Ath of May another increase in numbers was noticed in Oxford,
Cambridge, Warwick, Shropshire and Glamorgan.

During a large migration of many species at St. Catherine’s
light on the night of May 13th/14th, Lesser Whitethroats
were amongst the species killed ; but by that date most of the
birds had paired and were nesting, and the further progress
of these later arrivals was hardly indicated in the records.

Nests with eggs were first reported from Cambridge the
3rd of May, and from Surrey, Warwick, Somerset and
Northamptonshire between the 7th and 9th of that month.

BLACKCAP.

THE BLACKCAP.
Sylvia atricapilla (L.).

Wir the exception of three individual stragglers observed
respectively in Hampshire, Lancashire and Northumberland
on the 12th, 15th and 17th of March (dates sufficiently
remarkable to be regarded as abnormal), the Blackcap began
to arrive singly or in small numbers on the coasts of Hamp-
shire and Sussex, and in Kent, Surrey and Suffolk, between
the Ist and the 16th of April.

Early on the morning of the 17th of April very large
numbers were observed at St. Catherine’s light, Isle of Wight,
and twelve were killed. This influx, which initiated the first
important immigration of the species, continued for ten days;
and though the chief points of arrival were the coasts of
Kent and Essex, the whole of the southern seaboard, except
Cornwall, was also included in the movement. On the 19th
of April the records of first arrivals from Shropshire, Stafford-
shire and Yorkshire, and on the 21st and 22nd from Hereford-
shire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Denbigh, showed
that the earliest arrivals had now spread as far north as a
line joining the Wash and the Isle of Anglesey.

On the 28th and 29th of April there were indications of
a lesser immigration all along the south coast, and by the
end of April the species had become generally distributed
throughout its breeding localities.

Other minor immigrations appear to have taken place on
the 2nd and drd of May and again on the 10th and 14th, when
two Blackcaps were killed at St. Catherine’s light during a
large immigration of twelve other species.

The earliest nesting records were those from Somerset
and Radnor on the 5th of May, and from Kent on the 7th.

70

It was quite clear that the Blackcap, although not
recorded from Cornwall, arrived along the whole of the
south coast.

THE GARDEN-WARBLER.
Sylvia hortensis Bechst.

THE earliest notice of this species was from Middlesex on
the 20th of April, and during the two following days single
birds were recorded in Kent, Surrey, Gloucestershire and
Warwickshire.

On the night of the 23rd/24th of April, during a large
immigration at St. Catherine’s light, Isle of Wight, a few
Garden-Warblers were observed and five were killed. The
wind was east and the weather showery. It was noted in
Devonshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire on the 25th, also
in Sussex, Essex and Leicestershire, and as far north as
Yorkshire on the following day, while a small increase was
noticed in Gloucestershire and Shropshire.

Though not appearing in the lighthouse-records, there is
considerable evidence that a second wave of immigrants
occurred on the 3rd of May and on the two following days,

when an increase was observed in Devon, Sussex, Kent,

Surrey and Cambridgeshire, and the species was recorded
from Northumberland.
By the 9th of May the Garden-Warbler was reported as

resident and nesting in several counties and on the following

_ day eggs were found near Cambridge.

A third wave of immigrants was noticed at St. Catherine’s
light on the nights of the 10th, 13th/14th and 14th/15th of
May, unusually large numbers being seen and six killed on
the night of the 14th/15th. The wind was north-east and
the sky cloudy. There does not appear to have been a
correspondingly large increase of the birds noticed by the
inland observers, but by that date nesting had begun in
most districts.

THE GRASSHOPPER-WARBLER.
Locustella nevia (Bodd.).

Tue first arrival of this species was recorded in Cardigan
on the 9th and in Herefordshire on the 12th of April... From
the middle of that month to the end of the first week in May
the birds gradually spread over the whole country, but the
somewhat scanty records received render it difficult to trace
their movements with precision. Denbigh was reached on
the 26th of April, Cheshire on the 27th, Yorkshire on the
following day, Northumberland on the 3rd of May, and
Cumberland on the 8th, By the middle of May Grass-
hopper-Warblers were well-distributed and settling down in
their haunts.

There were no records relating to this species from any of
the light-stations.

A nest with three eggs was found in Norfolk on the 9th
of May, and was recorded with a note that it was an
unusually early date; on the following day a pair were
observed nesting in Northamptonshire.

THE CHIFFCHAFF.
Phylloscopus rufus (Bechst.).

Tue bird observed at Penzance (Cornwall) on the 3rd of
February was no doubt one that had wintered in the district
(cf. Report of Spring-Migration of 1907, Bull. B.O.C. xxii.
(04 ten)

The first immigrants were reported in Hampshire and
Surrey on the 17th of March. A slight increase in the
former county on the following day was succeeded by a
decrease on the 23rd, on which date many were recorded in
Yorkshire. Single birds killed at St. Catherine’s light, Isle
of Wight, on the nights of 27th/28th and 28th/29th and a
few seen on the night of 29th/30th showed that a small
immigratory movement was taking place. It was not,
however, until nearly the end of the first week in April
that the number of Chiffchaffs increased considerably
throughout the country, the birds up to that time being
chiefly confined to the southern counties.

On the 5th of April increased numbers in Cornwall and
Devon and a large increase in Kent indicated a fresh influx
of migrants, and from that date there was a steady increase
throughout the country till about the 20th day of the month,
the birds apparently arriving along the whole of the south
coast, but chiefly along the western portion. Twelve were
seen at St. Catherine’s light on the night of 13th/14th April.
The only large immigration of this species observed at the
lights took place on the night of the 16th/17th, when
hundreds were seen between midnight and 3 a.m. at St.
Catherine’s and thirty at the Owers light-vessel (Sussex) at
the latter hour.

The usual number of Chiffchaffs was recorded in Derby-
_ shire on the 18th and in Cheshire and Somerset on the 19th,

80

in Gloucestershire on the 20th, and in Dorset on the 26th of
April. It will thus be seen that by that date the birds were
settling down in their haunts throughout the country, though
frequent fluctuations in various counties, and records of
further immigrants at the Hampshire lights on the nights
of the 20th/21st and 23rd/24th, showed that numbers were
still arriving and passing through the country; this continued
up to the third week in May.

Nesting had commenced in Kent on the 2%th of April,
and in Cornwall on the 2nd of May. Nests with eggs were
found in Devon on the 30th of April, in Glamorgan on the
8th of May, and in Surrey and Staffordshire on the 11th
and 12th of that month.

THE WILLOW-WARBLER.
Phylloscopus trochilus (L.).

Tue arrival of this species was noted along the whole of the
southern coast-line, from Cornwall to Essex ; but the most
numerous records came from St. Catherine’s light (Isle of
Wight) and from the south-eastern counties.

Commencing with the record of a single bird, seen in
Devon on the 26th of March, the entry of the species
proceeded in a desultory manner until the 12th of April,
its arrival singly or in small numbers during that period
being reported from most of the counties as far north as
Cheshire and Derbyshire, while notices of single birds were
sent in from the Isle of Man and Cumberland.

From the 13th to the 15th of April a small wave of
immigration into the south-eastern counties (Hssex to Hamp-
shire) was apparent, and this movement developed during the
following days (16th, 17th and 18th) into the first important
influx, which extended over the whole of the south coast, great
numbers of birds being recorded. During the night
17th/18th hundreds were seen at St. Catherine’s light, and
numbers were killed between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m., the weather
being overcast and foggy. Numbers were also seen at the
Owers light-vessel (Sussex) and several were killed. Three
equally important waves of immigration followed and were
observed on the south coast from the 20th to the 21st of
April, from the 24th to the 26th, and from the 28th to the
Ist of May respectively, while smaller numbers arrived on
one portion or other of the south coast every night from the
15th of April to the Ist of May, with the exception of April
the 27th and 29th.

At the conclusion of the last of these immigrations, 7. ¢. on

the Ist of May, the records shewed that nesting had com-
menced among the earlier arrivals. A still further important
influx arrived, vid St. Catherine’s light, on the nights of the
10th, 11th, 14th and 15th of May, when very many birds
were observed and numbers were killed; but it appears tu
have passed inland almost unrecognised, probably owing to
the large number of birds which had already established

themselves.

Nests with eggs were recorded from Radnor on the 7th,
from Warwickshire on the 9th, and from Somerset and
Cheshire on the 13th of May.

THE WOOD-WARBLER.
Phylloscopus sibilatria (Bechst.).

THE first Wood-Warbler was observed in Middlesex on
the 12th of April, and was reported as being in an exhausted
condition. Several individuals were noticed in Leicestershire
and Derbyshire on the 18th, but the earliest records of the
species from the southern coast were from Dorset on the 20th
and from Hampshire on the 21st. A pair were recorded from
Northumberland on the 22nd and 23rd of April, an unusually
early date for such a northern locality. By the 25th the records
had become more numerous and an immigration must have
occurred. First arrivals in Kent, Radnor and Denbigh were
reported on the 25th, and from Somerset, Berkshire, Carnarvon,
Merioneth, Cheshire and Westmoreland on the two following
days. Between the 2nd and the 5th of May the species
became much more plentiful and an increase was noticed
especially in the western counties of England and in Wales.

The only lighthouse records were received from St. Cathe-
rine’s, Isle of Wight, where five Wood-Warblers were noted
amongst the birds killed during the large immigrations on
the nights of the 13th/14th and 14th/15th of May. It is not
possible to connect these records with those of the inland
observers, except that numbers of these birds were noticed in
Dorset on the 15th of May, while an increase was recorded
in Wiltshire and Surrey on the 20th and in Bedfordshire on
the 21st.

Wood-Warblers were reported to be nesting in Sussex on
the 5th of May, in Derbyshire on the 9th, and in Dorset on
the 19th. Eggs were found in Radnor as early as the dth of
May, and in Surrey on the 20th.

Observations from the eastern counties were very scanty ;

G

90

there were none from Norfolk, Suffolk or Cambridgeshire,
and only one from Essex, while in the south-west none were
received from Cornwall and one only from Devon.

THE REED-WARBLER.
Acrocephalus streperus (Vieill.).

Four Reed-Warblers were observed in Buckinghamshire on
the 5th of April, an unusually early date. These were the
only examples recorded in that county. ‘Two days later six
were seen in Kent, but no general immigration seems to have
occurred till the 24th and 25th of April. From the latter
date onwards to the 2nd of May large numbers were noted
in Kent, and about the same time (from the 23rd to the
28th of April) first arrivals or increases were recorded in the
southern and eastern counties, 2. e. in Dorset, Hampshire,
Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, Suffolk, Essex and
Cambridgeshire.

About the 5th of May another immigration seems to have
taken place and many of these birds were seen near Cam-
bridge, where they had apparently settled down. Small
additional numbers were noticed in Bedfordshire, Suffolk,
Berkshire and Warwickshire. By the 14th of May they had
reached Lancashire.

A large increase, reported in Essex on the 12th of May,
may perhaps have indicated a fresh wave of immigration.

The only lighthouse-record of this species was from
St. Catherine’s, Isle of Wight, where, on the night of the
14th/15th of May, a single bird was killed during a large
immigration of many different species. The wind was north-
easterly and the weather cloudy.

A pair of Reed-Warblers were observed nesting in Kent |
on the 10th of May, and a nest with four eggs was found in
Lancashire on the 17th of that month.

THE SEDGE-WARBLER.
Acrocephalus phragmatis (Bechst.).

Tae Sedge-Warbler was first recorded on the 6th of April,
when a small number appeared on the southern coast of Kent.
This arrival may have accounted for single individuals which
were noted in Bedfordshire and Cheshire on the 10th and
11th of April.

The first regular immigration was a small one observed on
the 13th and 14th of April on the eastern parts of the south
coast, from Hampshire to Essex.

This movement was followed by a large influx on the 17th,
18th, 19th and 20th of April, along the south coast, from
tle Isle of Wight to Essex, hundreds being seen and twenty
killed at St. Catherine’s light, Isle of Wight, early on the
morning of the 17th. ‘The only records from the west were
those of a single bird seen in Cornwall on the 12th and of
two in Dorset on the 20th of April.

A second large immigration took place along the eastern
part of the south coast, from the Isle of Wight to the
northern border of Essex on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of
April. Meanwhile the birds which had already arrived had
spread over the greater part of Hnugland.

From the 25th of April to the 2nd of May there scems
to have been little, if any, further immigration on the
south coast ; during that period the individuals of the second
large immigration appear to have spread over the country,
Yorkshire and Lancashire being reached on the 25th and
26th of April, Durham and Cumberland on the 1st of May,
while a single bird was recorded from the Isle of Man on
the 2nd. Meanwhile the southern counties showed a corre-

sponding decrease.

of May, and an increase in Glamorgan, Gloucestershire,
Wiltshire, Hertfordshire and Essex on 8th of May. A
further increase in Cornwall, Devon, Hampshire and Hssex
denoted a fresh immigration of some importance along the
whole of the southern and south-eastern seaboard between
the 5th and 9th of May. By the latter date some pairs had
already begun to nest.

Another considerable immigration was recorded on the
nights of the 11th to the 14th of May at St. Catherine’s light,
and examples seen at the Kentish Knock lightship on the
15th showed that a fourth important wave of immigration
took place on those dates.

No important immigration appears to have taken place
after the 15th of May, and by the 19th all the Sedge-Warblers
throughout the country had settled down and commenced
nesting in their usual haunts. A nest with eggs was found
in Cambridgeshire on the 20th of May and a second in
Radnor on the 27th.

THE WHITE WAGTAIL.
Motacilla alba L.

Tue earliest records for this species are from Carmarthen-
shire on the 17th and from Northumberland on the 20th of
March. Curiously enough, with the exception of two birds
observed in Devonshire, all the March records are from the
northern midlands and northern counties, 7. e. from Leicester-
shire and Derbyshire on the 26th, Westmoreland on the
27th, and Cheshire and Cumberland on the 31st of March.
Observations of this species in the southern counties were
very few: one only was seen in Hampshire on the 4th of
April, and the first arrivals were noted in Sussex on the 9th
and in Kent on the 13th of April. Besides these there were
hardly any observations. In the eastern counties this Wagtail
was not noticed in Essex, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Bedfordshire
or Cambridgeshire, and was only twice reported in Norfolk ;
it was therefore very difficult to make out from the records
when and where it reached our shores. There were no light-
house observations, and this further increased the difficulty
of forming any conclusions regarding the movements of
this bird.

YELLOW WAGTAIL.

103

THE YELLOW WAGTAIL.
Motacilla ran (Bonap.).

Brtween the 9th and the 12th of April small numbers of
Yellow Wagtails arrived on the south-east coast and a few
stragglers were ebserved inland, as far north as Yorkshire.

A large immigration apparently took place between the
17th and the 21st of April; numbers were observed in
Kent from the 17th onwards, and in Glamorgan a large
flock was noticed on the 19th. It was perhaps some of these
birds which were observed in Cheshire on the following day
and in Yorkshire a day later; small increases were alxo
recorded in several other counties.

There was hardly any evidence in the records of any
extensive immigration after the 20th of April, though in-
creases were noted in one or two inland counties, such as
Cheshire and Yorkshire. By the 24th the birds were said to
be resident and to have already paired in several localities,
and by the 11th of May they were nesting in Kent, Cheshire,
Derbyshire and Staffordshire.

Observations on this species were scanty, and none
were received from Middlesex, Buckinghamshire, Rutland,
Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Nottingham-
shire, Brecon, Carmarthen, Cardigan, Carnarvon, Northum-
berland and the Isle of Man.

There was only one lighthouse-record, viz. that of a bird
killed at St. Catherine’s, Isle ef Wight, at 1 a.m. on the 10th
of May.

TREE-PIPIT.

April.

Dates without initial are in|||~

107

WMeU0) UME
Anthus trivialis (L.).

TuE arrival of the Tree-Pipit was first reported in Hampshire
on the 2nd of April. During the first ten days of that
month the records referred chiefly to stragglers in the south-
eastern and midland counties. On the 12th they appeared
in Yorkshire, the numbers increasing on the following day.

Between the 15th and 20th of April there was evidently
an influx of immigrants, as was shown by the increased
numbers in Hampshire, Wiltshire and Kent, and by the great
increase in Sussex, where one observer recorded very large
numbers on the 18th; three were killed at St. Catherine’s
light, Isle of Wight, between the above named dates. After
this, an increase in numbers was noted in many localities,
and by the end of the month the Tree-Pipit had spread
all over the country. The usual numbers were recorded
in Devonshire on the 21st; they reached Northumberland
on the 25th, and Westmoreland and Cumber!and on the
27th and 28th respectively. Further arrivals took place
in Kent on the 23rd and 26th.

By the end of the first week in May, Tree-Pipits were
apparently beginning to settle down in their nesting-haunts ;
but there were evidently further arrivals on the eastern
half of the south coast on the Ist, 3rd, 4th and 6th, while a
single bird, killed at St. Catherine’s light on the night of the
13th/14th, showed that migration had not quite ceased.
Records of local movements also continued up to the third
week of that month.

Tree-Pipits were observed nesting in Staffordshire on the
26th of April. Nests with eggs were found in Somerset on
the 7th of May, in Norfolk on the 9th, in Cheshire on the
15th, and in Kent and Wiltshire on the 19th and 20th.

THE RED-BACKED SHRIKE.

Lanius collurio UL.

Tue records of this species were so scanty that it was difficult
to trace its movements. The first arrival was recorded in
Dorset on the 25th of April, and was the only known
instance of its occurrence in the western counties of the south
coast. :

Up to the 10th of May stragglers were reported in various
counties from the extreme south-east to Carnarvon, Shrop-
shire and Norfolk, which appears to have been the limit of
their extension northwards. A slight increase was noted in
Cambridgeshire on the 13th, in Hertfordshire on the 16th,
and in Shropshire on the 17th, while in Northamptonshire
there was a gradual increase from the 20th to the 23rd
of May.

A nest with two eggs was found in Sussex on the 10th of
May, and nests with eges were reported from Suffolk on the
13th, from Cambridgeshire on the 23rd, and from Merioneth
on the 28th.

THE SPOTTED FLYCATCHER.
Muscicapa grisola L.

A ¥Ew individuals of this species appear to have arrived
in the country rather earlier than usual, single birds
being observed in Devonshire and Hertfordshire on the
10th of April. The first arrival in Northamptonshire was
recorded on the 19th, and was followed by a slight in-
crease on the two following days. Up to the end of April
Spotted Flycatchers occurred singly, or in small numbers,
in Hampshire, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Shropshire, Den-
bigh, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and Cumberland.
During the second and third weeks in May their numbers
were largely increased, the birds spreading over the whole
country, and settling down in their haunts.

The lighthouse-records included four examples only,
killed at St. Catherine’s, Isle of Wight, on the nights of the
10th/11th, 13th/14th and 14th/15th of May.

Migratory movements continued up to the end of the
month, but after the third week they were local and
insignificant.

A nest with two eggs was found in Sussex on the 12th
of May, others were being built in Dorset and Somerset on
the 16th and 17th, and in Cumberland on the 23rd, while
in Radnor many nests with eggs were observed between
the 24th and 30th of that month.

THE PIED FLYCATCHER.
Muscicapa atricapilla L.

As there were no lighthouse-records of this species and the
observations inland were scanty, it was difficult to give
any connected summary of its migratory movements. It was
first noticed on the 13th of April, when two birds were
seen on passage in Devon. It was observed in Brecon on
the 15th, and was not again recorded till the 20th, when a
male was seen passing Hampstead, Middlesex, the only notices
of its presence in these counties. Although Pied Flycatchers
were seen as far north as Yorkshire on the 21st of April and
Denbigh on the 23rd, immigrants were not recorded in Kent
till the 4th of May and in Sussex till the 8th, while there
were no observations from Hampshire, the Isle of Wight
or Dorset.

From Wales and the northern counties the records were
naturally more abundant, and there were a good many
notices of the occurrence of small numbers of this species
from early in May onwards. It had settled down and
paired in Cumberland on the 2nd, in Derby on the 12th, in
Shropshire on the 16th and in Merioneth on the 19th of
that month.

Nests with eggs were found in Merioneth and Derbyshire
on the 23rd, and in Radnor on the 30th of May.

THE SWALLOW.
HMirundo rustica L.

Tue earliest appearance of the Swallow was reported at
Hayling Island, where one was seen on the 21st and several
on the 27th of March. An exceptionally early bird was
seen in Yorkshire on the 29th of that month. Through-
out the greater part of Hngland, however, its first
appearance dated from the 5th and 7th of April, though it
was not reported from Cumberland till the 9th, from the
Isle of Man till the 11th, and from Northumberland till
the 13th.

A large immigration was reported during the night of the
16th/17th of April at St. Catherine’s light, Isle of Wight,
and at the Nab light-vessel, also off the Hampshire coast ;
numbers were seen travelling north by day on the 19th,
24th, 26th, 29th and 30th of April, while smaller numbers
were recorded from the former station on most days between
the 17th of April and the 14th of May. In the southern
- counties many were seen in Kent on the 12th, 13th and 17th
of April, in Hants from the 7th till the end of the month ;
and in Dorset on the 11th, and between the 14th and 18th of
that month. In the south-west, in Devon and Cornwall,
though first seen on the 5th of April, no general increase
was noted till the 19th, when Swallows became numerous.

On the east coast (Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk) the earliest
arrivals were noted on the 7th of April, and after that date a
small increase was noted in all three counties from the 14th
to the 18th. During the following days, from the 19th to
the 28th, large numbers, probably the main body, arrived,
after which there was a slight lull until a second immigration
was noted in Suffolk on the 7thof May. In Surrey a marked

SWALLOW.

121

influx of birds was noted on the 17th and 18th, perhaps part
of the same flight which was observed at St. Catherine’s ;
another arrival was recorded between the 23rd and 25th,
and others between the 5th and 8th and the 15th and 17th
of May. In Oxfordshire many were noticed between the
24th and the 26th of April, and a large immigration of
Swallows, showing signs of fatigue, were observed in the
same county on the 10th of May. In Leicestershire,
Staffordshire and Derbyshire a definite increase in numbers
was noted on the 18th of April, and in Lancashire, Yorkshire
and Cumberland a day later.

In Wales, the Swallow became abundant in Glamorgan,
Carmarthen, Denbigh and Merioneth on the 19th, and in
Carnarvon on the 20th of April. In the Isle of Man a con-
siderable number had arrived by the 16th of that month and
a great increase was noted on the 7th of May.

A pair were observed building in Sussex on the 21st of
April; a nest with one egg was found in Somerset on the
2nd of May and another with five eggs in Wiltshire on the
13th of that month.

In several localities Swallows arrived earlier than usual,
but these seem to have been isolated stragglers.

THE HOUSE-MARTIN.

Chelidon urbica (L.).

A stncLE House-Martin observed in Devonshire on the 27th
of March constituted the earliest record of this species.
During the first week in April stragglers were recorded from
Cornwall, Hampshire, Sussex, Middlesex, Shropshire, Staf-
fordshire, Derbyshire, Brecon and the Isle of Man. On the
10th of April arrivals were noted in Yorkshire, and from that
date onwards there was a steady increase in the numbers, the
birds apparently entering the country all along the south and
south-east coasts. Westmoreland was reached on the 15th,
Cumberland on the 20th, and Northumberland on the 21st,
an increase taking place in the two first-named counties on
the 26th of April.

On the 27th of April hundreds were observed in Dorset-
shire passing from east to west, and unusual numbers were
reported both from that county and from Staffordshire on
the 3rd of May.

During the second week of May the birds began to settle
down in their haunts, but a great influx into Glamorganshire
on the 17th, and a large increase in Wiltshire on the 29th,
showed that numbers of birds were still passing through the
country.

Hven as late as the 18th of July an observer in Hssex
wrote that vast numbers had arrived from the east, but this
was probably the beginning of the return migration.

The only lighthouse-record came from St. Bees (Cumber-
land), where two were seen at 3 p.m. on the 19th, and six at
3.30 P.M. on the 22nd of May.

House-Martins were reported to be nesting in Suffolk on

THE SAND-MARTIN.
Cotile riparia (L.).

THE arriva] of the Sand-Martin was first recorded on the 23rd
of March, when a small flock appeared on the coast of Hamp-
shire. This was followed by others in Devonshire on March
the 29th, and the main body of the first immigration reached
the same area during the two following days. These birds
seem to have travelled gradually northwards through Wales
and the western Midlands, reaching Staffordshire, Cheshire,
Derbyshire and Cumberland on April the 8th, and Denbigh,
Northamptonshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire on the 9th ;
while a few stragglers penetrated as far east as Surrey on
the 6th.

On April 8th a second immigration arrived on the coasts of
Devon, Dorset and Hampshire, a few birds extending as far
east as Sussex. Other flocks arrived in Dorset on the 10th
and 11th, and in Devon and Cornwall on the 12th. The
more westerly arrivals again passed through Wales and the
western Midlands, while the more easterly ones appeared to
have. travelled northwards, spreading more gradually east-
wards, so that the south-eastern and eastern counties were
reached at a later date than the western and midland
counties.

The next immigration probably occurred on the Devon and
Dorset coasts, and, though it was not recorded, accounted for
an increase in Wiltshire on April 15th. This was followed
by arrivals in Sussex on the 16th, in Dorset and Kent on
17th, and in Devon, Dorset and Sussex on the 19th. The
northward spread in the west of Hngland could be again
easily traced, but it was not until after the arrival of the

132

SAND-MARTIN.

= March.

Mch.

Dates without initial are in|)

133

eastern portion of this immigration that the Sand-Martin
became numerous in the eastern and south-eastern counties.

Further arrivals took place in Devon and Sussex on the
22nd of April and in Sussex on the 26th, while an increase on
that date in Somerset probably represented a further arrival
in Devon. A third portion of this immigration reached
Hampshire on the 27th. The progress of the immigrants
could still be traced, as may be seen by reference to the
Chronological Summary appended, but the birds had now
become so numerous in the western and midland counties
that changes in numbers were more difficult to follow than
in the eastern and northern counties, which were as yet some-
what thinly populated.

The Sand-Martin continued to arrive during the first ten
days of May ; in Devon on the Ist, 8th and 9th, and in Kent
on the 3rd, 4th and 10th, and the progress of these immigrants
was indicated principally through the eastern counties, as
well as in North Wales and other more northern counties.

It was clear that the Sand-Martin arrived along the whole
of the south coast of England, and that it appeared first and
in greatest numbers to the west of Hampshire. It was not
- until three weeks after the arrival of the first of these western
immigrations that it arrived in any numbers on the south
coast to the east of Hampshire, and though early stragglers
appear to have spread into the eastern half of England
from the west, the main body of the summer-residents in the
eastern counties arrived on the eastern half of the south coast
during the immigrations in the latter half of April and early
in May.

It will thus be seen that it was not until the immigration
was nearly over that Sand-Martins arrived in large numbers
in the eastern counties of England; whereas in the western
counties and in Wales they arrived much earlier.

Nests ready for eggs were found in Hertfordshire on the
11th and in Cambridgeshire on the 17th of May.

THE SWIFT.
Cypselus apus (L.).

Sivente birds were recorded in Hampshire on the 19th of
April, in Dorsetshire and Shropshire on the 20th, and in
Cumberland on the 22nd. An increase was noted in Shrop-
shire on the Z1st, and on that date four individuals were
seen in Glamorgan. By theend of the month the Swift was
generally distributed all over the country, even in the
northern counties, with the exception of Northumberland,
where the first arrivals were not observed until the 3rd of
May. ‘The immigration continued throughout May, and
a marked increase was noted in Berkshire on the 4th,
and in Hssex on the 6th; hundreds were seen passing
over Staffordshire on the 13th, and large numbers were
recorded in Hertfordshire on the 25th.

The only Swift reported as having been killed at a light-
house was one at St. Catherine’s, Isle of Wight, on the
night of the 16th/17th of May; but others were noted
passing the Nab light-vessel (Hants) during the daytime on
various dates between the 22nd of April and the 6th of May
from 9 A.M. to 4 p.m. They were all flying from south to
north-east, in small numbers, except on the 5th of May,
when flocks were seen all day.

Swifts were nesting in Sussex on the 5th of May, in
Carnarvon on the 16th, and in Berkshire on the 20th, while
nests with eggs were found in Radnor on the 22nd of that
month.

THE NIGHTJAR.
Caprimulgus europeus (L.).

THE movements of this species were difficult to trace, for the
records, which were not very numerous, generally referred
to single birds, and there are no lighthouse observations.

A single Nightjar was met with in Surrey on the 16th of
April, and four were observed in Yorkshire as early as the
19th of that month.

Between the 21st and 23rd of April large numbers were
observed in Hampshire. This probably indicated an im-
migration, but the records afforded no indication of the line
along which these arrivals spread.

The species was reported to have settled down in its usual
numbers in Northamptonshire by the 5th of May, and in
Derbyshire and Glamorgan by the 10th of that month. No
observations were recorded from Northumberland or from
the Isle of Man.

_ Eggs of this species were reported from Yorkshire on
the 18th of May, and two fresh eggs were found in Radnor
on the Ist of June.

THE WRYNECK.
Lyne torquilla I.

THIS species apparently arrived on the south and south-east
coast, chiefly from Hampshire eastwards, the first arrival
being recorded from that county on the 23rd of March.
Single birds were noted from Kent and Surrey on the 3rd
of April, and from Suffolk on the 4th, with an increase on
the following day. A further increase took place on the
10th and 11th, and the birds were reported as being present
in their usual numbers on the 12th.

By the end of April Wrynecks were fairly distributed
over the southern and eastern counties, the area occupied
lying to the south and east of a line drawn from Somerset
to Buckinghamshire and thence to Leicester and Norfolk.
Outside of this line single birds were observed in Shropshire
on the 8th and in Carmarthen on the 25th, a slight increase
taking place in the former county on the 26th.

-Immigratory movements seem practically to have ceased
by the middle of May, the distribution of the birds remaining
much as before. The only other counties to be added
to those already occupied during April are Warwick,
Northampton and Lincoln. A straggler reported in Durham
on the 13th of May was the only one observed in any
county north of Lincoln.

The only lighthouse record included four examples killed
at St. Catherine’s, Isle of Wight, on the night of the
16th/17th of April.

Nesting commenced in Hertfordshire on the 25th of April
and in Sussex on the 5th of May. Nests with eggs were
found in Northamptonshire on the 17th, in Hampshire on
the 23rd and in Surrey on the 24th of May. -

Cre CUCKOO:

Cuculus canorus L.

Recorps of the arrival of the Cuckoo in March were received
from Sussex on the 27th, from Cornwall on the 29th, 30th
and 31st, and from Surrey and Yorkshire on the latter date.
It is noteworthy that no further record of the species in
Cornwall was received until the 26th of April.

Up to the middle of April the arrival of this species was
reported in all the southern and more easterly counties, as
well as in Shropshire, Derbyshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire.
On the 19th a marked immigration evidently took place, as
an increase was noted in Devon, Sussex and Suffolk, and
the numbers in Somerset were largely augmented.

From that date to the end of April records were received
almost daily of the arrival of the Cuckoo in the counties
alone the south coast, and by the Ist of May the species was
distributed over the whole country, having arrived in Cum-
berland on the 20th and in Northumberland on the 26th of
April. By the end of the first week in May the birds had
begun to settle down, but migratory movements continued
till the third week, as was shown by the record of arrivals
in the south, and by the fluctuating numbers throughout the
kingdom, especially marked between the 11th and 15th of
that month.

No reports of the occurrence of this species were received
from any of the light-stations.

An egg was found in a Robin’s nest in Glamorgan on the
5th of May, in a Hedge-Sparrow’s nest in Wiltshire on the
9th, in a Greenfinch’s nest in Surrey on the 13th, and ina
Chiffchaff’s nest in Somerset on the 14th. Eggs were found in

TURTLE

DOVE.

ENGLAND.

Dates without initial are in

THE TURILE-DOVE.
Turtur communis Selby.

THE arrival of this species appears to have taken place chiefly
in Hampshire and Sussex, and, in a lesser degree, in Kent,
All the birds which reached Essex seem to have passed on
from these counties. The only records from Dorset were
received from the eastern part of the county, on the
Hampshire border; only one record was received from
Devon and a few stragglers were observed in Cornwall.

Between the 4th and the 22nd of April the first stragglers
appeared in the south-eastern counties, and single birds were
recorded in Devon, Suffolk, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and
Cheshire.

The first immigration of importance took place in Hamp-
shire on the 19th, 23rd and 24th of April. During the five
following days those individuals, together with the first
stragglers, spread over Hngland as far north as Yorkshire,
but did not reach Wales. Flocks continued to arrive at
intervals of a few days until the 24th of May, by which
date the passage had concluded and the earlier arrivals
had settled down in their customary haunts and commenced
to nest.

The earliest records of nests with eggs were received from
Sussex on the 8th of May and from Norfolk on the 9th;
likewise from Surrey on the 15th, from Dorset on the
22nd and from Norfolk on the 23rd of May.

The Turtle-Dove was not recorded by the observers in
Derbyshire, Carnarvon, the Isle of Man, Westmoreland,
Durham and Northumberland.

THE LAND-RAIL.
Crew pratensis Bechst.

Tue Land-Rail began to arrive in small numbers about the
fourth week in April, the records up till the 25th of that
month referring almost entirely to single birds. It is
probable that these earlier immigrants arrived on the western
half of the south coast, as the great majority were observed
in the western half of the country and in Wales. On this
point, however, it is not possible to speak with certainty, as
there were no records from the counties on the south coast.
A second small immigration in the west was indicated about
the 23rd by the records from Devon, Wiltshire and Somerset,
for the birds in the western counties became generally more
numerous after that date, while a greater number were
noted in Carnarvon on the 26th, and in Shropshire on the
27th, and later reports told of an increase in Denbigh,
Lancashire, Staffordshire, Yorkshire, the Isle of Man and
Cumberland on subsequent days. The slight increase ob-
served in Cambridge on the 28th may also point to a spread
in that direction from the west. A further small immigration
arrived in Hampshire on the 4th of May, and was followed
by another in Thanet, East Kent, on the 6th, while a bird
killed against telegraph-wires in Cornwall on the 8th may
point to a fresh arrival in the west. The latter supposition
is borne out to some extent by the increase noticed in the
western counties and in Wales during the following days.
The birds which had arrived in Kent had all disappeared by
the 10th of May, but the records do not indicate in what
direction they went; it may, however, be pointed out that
the Land-Rail was again exceedingly scarce over the whole of

159

the south-east of England and that not a single instance
of its occurrence was reported from Sussex, Hssex, Suffolk,
Berkshire or Oxfordshire, while from the other counties in
this area the records were extremely meagre.

A nest with six eggs was found in Staffordshire on the
19th of May.

THE COMMON SANDPIPER.
Totanus hypoleucus (L.).

THE first record for the year, a single bird seen in Lancashire
on the 21st of March, refers no doubt to an individual which
had wintered in our Islands. The regular immigration of
the species commenced on the 8th of April, the birds arriving
on the western half of the south coast. Single birds or small
numbers were recorded continuously throughout the whole
country, from the 8th to the 21st of April. During this
period records from Surrey, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire,
Cambridgeshire and Norfolk may be ascribed to a small
immigration of birds which had arrived by a more easterly
route, through Hampshire and Sussex, on the 9th and 13th
of April.

Generally speaking, but few Sandpipers were observed
in any of the coastal counties, their presence at their breeding-
haunts being the first indication of their arrival in any
numbers, a fact which doubtless has its significance in con-
nection with the mode of passage.

Between the 22nd and 24th of April a. ual influx was
noticeable in Dorset and Hampshire, and several were seen
at St. Catherine’s light, Isle of Wight, during the large
immigration of various species which occurred between 11 p.m.
and 3.30 A.M. on the night of the 23rd/24th of April, when
the birds were flying in a west-north-westerly direction.

By the 4th of May the usual number of birds seem to have
arrived in most of the counties in which the Sandpiper breeds,
and nesting had commenced. Several nests with eggs were
reported from Radnor on the 9th of May, and from Cheshire,
Lancashire, Cumberland and Westmoreland on the 14th.

THK COMMON TERN.
Sterna fluviatilis Naum.

THe Common Tern was first recorded at Dungeness in
Kent, where three pairs arrived on April the 6th, and passed
on. The main arrival took place at their breeding-area there
on the 12th of April, when large numbers put in an appear-
ance. It is possible that in 1909 the main body may have
arrived together, as no fluctuation in numbers was recorded
from there after the above-mentioned date ; nesting became
general by the llth of May. Single pairs arrived in
Essex and Hampshire on the 21st of April, and there was
a slight increase in the latter county iwo days later. In
Essex the main arrival took place on the 24th of April, and
in Suffolk on the 26th. On the 27th the earliest birds were
noted in Norfolk, while the main body of the nesting-birds
for that locality arrived on the following day. The first pair
arrived at the Cumberland breeding-area on the 25th of April,
a second pair on the 6th of May, while the arrival of the main
body was apparently delayed until the 19th of that month.
On the 4th of May a number were noted in Cornwall, and a
considerable arrival took place in Merioneth on the same day.
Nesting had begun in Lancashire on the 17th of May.
Small numbers of passing migrants were noted in Northamp-
tonshire on the 6th of May, in Sussex on the 7th, in Cheshire
on the 9th and in Oxfordshire on the 11th and 16th of that
month.

THE LITTLE TERN.
Sterna minuta L.

Tue first arrival of this species was recorded in Kent on the
8th of April, when the Little Tern was reported to have
arrived in large numbers, which had settled down in their
breeding-haunts by the 12th, Onthe 17th a single individual
was noted in Hssex, others arrived on the 20th, and a further
increase took place on the 26th, but a certain number of these
birds must have passed on, as a decrease in their numbers was
noted on the 8thof May. A few were recorded from Norfolk |
and Cornwall on the 3rd and 4th of May respectively, while
in Merioneth between the latter date and the 15th a fairly
steady stream of passing birds was observed, terminating
apparently on the 21st. Little Terns were also noted in
Cumberland, passing in small numbers, on the 6th and 19th of
May.

Nests with eggs were reported in Lancashire on the 17th
of May.

THE SWALLOW (Hirundo rustica).

Migratory movements on a large scale took place early in August.
The first record was from Yorkshire, when a few were noted flying
south from the 30th of July to the 5th of August. On the 3rd of
August an observer in south Devon states that there were many thousands
of Swallows, House- and Sand-Martins on Thurlestone sands, preparing
to cross the Channel. On the 3lst the same observer stated that the
emigration continued, flocks collecting daily on a pebbly ridge at Tor
Cross. On the 4th of August the birds were reported to be congregating
in Wiltshire in large numbers. Similar gatherings were reported in
Leicestershire on the 15th, in Derbyshire on the 16th, in Shropshire on
the 22nd, and in Westmoreland and Staffordshire on the 28th. Many.
were observed leaving Lancashire between the 18th and the 21st, and an
vbserver in Norfolk recorded greatly reduced numbers on the 31st.
There was also evidence of birds passing through Cornwall between the
10th and 21st.

The emigratory movement continued in full force up to about the
end of September. During that month flocks going south were
observed almost daily in Kent, the greatest numbers being noted on
the 18th, 22nd and 27th; in Suffolk small numbers were noted going
south throughout the month; while on the 22nd and 24th some birds
travelling southwards passed the Isle of May (Fife). On the 5th about 60
were reported passing through Westmoreland, and parties of from 20 to
100 through Somerset between the 5th and the 7th; on the latter date
great numbers were passing south in Norfolk. On the 11th a steady
south-westerly movement of hundreds of birds was recorded in Cheshire.
Betweea the 14th and 29th numbers were seen passing over Kent to
the south and south-west. On the 17th an observer in Denbigh noted a
large flock on migration, but observed none subsequently. On the 20th
a flock of about 500 flying east was noted in Somerset, and great
numbers flying in a south-westerly direction at 7 A.M. were seen in
Dorset on the 24th.

In October the movement was evidently dying out. Hundreds were
recorded congregating on telegraph-wires in Surrey on the 2nd. Small
parties were seen passing south in Kent between the 1st and 15th, and a
few in the Isle of Man on the 12th.

A few stragglers were observed here and there in November, and one
in Norfolk on the 1st of December.

This species was only reported on two occasions from the Light-stations,

2o1

viz., two at St. Catherine’s Lt. (Isle of Wight) on the night of the
24th/25th of September, and hundreds at Anvil Point Lt. (Dorset) on
the 4th of October during the daytime.

THE HOUSE-MARTIN (Chelidon urbica).

The emigratory movement of this species commenced about the middle
of July, when many hundreds were recorded passing east in Somerset
on the 13th, and a flock of about 400 was noted in Dorset on the 22nd.

On the 3rd of August an observer in south Devon recorded great
numbers gathering at the coast preparatory to departure. During the
last fortnight of the month a large decrease in numbers was reported in
Cumberland and Yorkshire.

In September the movement became more general. House-Martins
were passing to the east in flocks in Somerset between the 5th and
18th, and great numbers were moving southwards in Norfolk on the 7th,
and in a south-westerly direction in Cheshire on the llth. Between
the 17th and 23rd House-Martins were passing through Denbighshire in
small numbers, and on the 29th and 30th others were noted on the south
coast of Yorkshire going south throughout the day.

In the third week in October, reports were still being received from
observers in Cumberland, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, Derby-
shire, Hampshire and Cornwall noting the final departure of these birds
from their nesting-haunts. There was a large decrease in numbers in
Leicestershire, Suffolk and Kent during the first half of October, and in
the last-named county large numbers were observed going east on the 9th.
An observer in Shropshire reported that some of the nests still contained
young on the 80th, but that the main body had left by that date. A
single bird was seen in Suffolk on the 7th of November.

The only record from the Light-stations mentioned that about 50 had
been seen at 10 a.m. on the 13th of October at the South Goodwin
Lt.-v. (Kent),

THE SAND-MARTIN (Cotile riparia).

The first record of an emigratory movement came from Cheshire,
where an observer reported a flock of about 300 leaving at 7 a.m. on
the 3rd of August. On the same date great numbers were seen
collecting on the south coast of Devon. On the 5th the departure of
the main body of Sand-Martins was noted in Cumberland, but some
stayed on till the end of the month, and a very late brood of young
birds was recorded on the 20th. On the 26th of August an observer at
Holkham (Norfolk) observed a flock of about 50 flying westwards along
the coast. An influx was noted in Yorkshire on the 30th, but the birds
made no stay and by the third week of September almost all the
resident birds had left. On the 31st of August greatly reduced numbers

RZ

252

were recorded in Derbyshire; while in Devonshire many were seen
on the 4th of September, and two on the following day, but none after
that date. Between the 7th aud 22nd an observer in Kent noted
stragelers flying in a southerly direction, and on the 8th a few were
seen in Suffolk flying south-west. During the first half of September
Sand-Martins were passing in small parties through Oxfordshire and
Wiltshire. On the 9th and 10th there was evidence of a considerable
migratory movement through Shropshire. An observer in Suffolk
reported that the numbers in his neighbourhood gradually decreased after
the 8th, and that none were seen after the 21st.

The latest record was that of a single bird on Monach Island (Outer
Hebrides) on the 26th of October.

No Sand-Martins were reported at any of the Light-stations.

there is some evidence to show that there was a considerable passage of
this species on the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts throughout the month.
Linnets were often recorded at the light-vessels, but in the absence of

THE SWIFT (Cypselus apus).

The emigratory movement of this species began in the last week in
July, when about 200 birds were observed in Somerset passing east on
the 23rd, and about a dozen on the following day. Between the 24th
and 81st observers in Surrey noted large numbers passing west and south-
west, and in Yorkshire 30 to 40 were seen flying due south on the 29th.

During the first fortnight in August the departure of Swifts from their
suminer-quarters was noted by observers in about a dozen counties
ranging from Cumberland to Cornwall. On the 19th and 20th an
observer at Holkham (Norfolk) recorded a considerable number, followed
by a marked decrease on the following day, and a further decrease on
the 25th, the birds disappearing altogether on the 29th. A few which
again appeared in that neighbourhood on the 31st were also doubtless
emigrants moving south,

By about the end of the first week in September the birds had
apparently departed from the country, as there were records of a few
stragglers only after the 7th of the month.

From St. Catherine’s Lt. (Isle of Wight) several were reported
between 10 P.M. and 3 a.m. on the Ist/2nd August, and from Spurn
Head Lt. (Yorkshire) several were recorded on the nights of the
21st/22nd, 25rd/24th, 26th/27th August, and 7th/8th and 9th/10th of
September. On the 28th of August the keepers at the Long-and Lt.-v.
(Essex) reported 50 going east at 4 p.w. and 20 travelling north-east at
10 a.m, on the following day,

THE CUCKOO (Cuculus canorus).

The reports received from Kent indicated that all the adult Cuckoos
had left by mid-July, but there are records from Wiltshire on the 4th
and from Westmoreland on the 10th. The observations on immature
birds show that throughout England generally most left during August,
and there was only one record in September, viz., of one in Suffolk on

the 17th. A single bird was noted on passage in the Isle of May (Fife)
on the 20th of August.

On the 4th of October a few were observed on the Suffolk coast going
south ; the first arrivals were noted in Leicestershire on the 8th, during
the third week of the month in Lancashire, and during the last week in
Norfolk. On the 21st a small flock arrived at the Isle of May (Fife).

During the early part of November the numbers increased in Leicester-
shire, on the 15th flocks were noted on the Suffolk coast flying south all

THE GOLDEN PLOVER (Charadrius pluvialis).

In Lancashire and Yorkshire it was noticed that the local birds had
left the moors and worked down to the lowlands during August, and by
the middle of the month this species was met with on migration in Anglesea
anda little later in Cheshire. In some places these birds passed on and

213

their place was taken by others, the numbers increasing during September.
On September the 12th a small arrival was noted on the Norfolk coast, and
on the 22nd a flock arrived in the Isle of May (Fife), while on the 23rd
