night of Oct. 18th or morning of 19th, the Woodcock arriving at the
same time with a north wind. Heavy snow from north on Oct. 20th. The
"great rush" over Heligoland was on Oct. 22nd.
Barn Owl, _Aluco flammeus_.--At Yarmouth, Oct. 19th, morning, one
seen coming in from the sea.
Tengmalm's Owl, _Nyctala Tengmalmi_.--On Oct. 22nd a very fine
example of this small Owl was shot at Saltfleet, on the Lincolnshire
coast; wind strong from the north on 21st. Another was shot in
Felyingdales, Yorkshire, near Robin Hood's Bay, late in December. At
Heligoland, Nov. 22nd and 23rd, Hawk Owl, _Surnia funerea_, was seen

N.W., windy, four fine old birds, pure white underneath; 16th, some;
17th, some; major, one. Nov. 10th, one fine old male. There was
a very considerable immigration on to the east coast in October.
At Spurn, one was seen during the first week in October, and
subsequently in that month and early in November, many. The last
from that locality I have a note of was a female, shot at Patrington,
Holderness, on Jan. 20th, 1881. At Whiteley Sands, Northumberland,
one early in October. One shot near Hartlepool Nov. 17th. One at
Flamborough Head first week in October. Mr. J. H. Gurney has also
recorded three shot in Norfolk in October; and many others have
been mentioned in the 'Zoologist' and 'Field' as occurring in
various parts of the country. One also was shot at North Kelsey, in
Lincolnshire, at the end of February.

Flycatchers.[4] At Swin Middle L.V., Aug. 28th, o.m., many with
Starlings round lantern.
[Footnote 4: The term "Flycatcher" seems to be used somewhat
indiscriminately for many of the small insect-catching birds. Some
of these in this case are probably--as they are associated with
Wheatears--Redstarts. At the Longstone L.H., also on the same date,
several Redstarts appeared, both species migrating together and at
the same time.]
Pied Flycatcher, _Muscicapa luctuosa_ (_atricapilla_, Linn.)--At

Arctic weather on Dec. 13th. Line of migration E. to W., S.E. to
N.W. Time over which migration extended (exclusive of occurrences in
December, as probably referring to local movements caused by severe
weather) from Aug. 3rd, Cromer, to Nov. 26th, Farne Islands, or 126
days.
Fieldfare, _Turdus pilaris_.--At Heligoland, Oct. 16th, N.W. and

Great Cotes as referring perhaps to local movement from outburst
of severe weather in the North, the Fieldfares were seen on their
migration, first near Norwich, Sept. 9th and last at Teesmouth, Nov.
27th--eighty days. "Great rush" Oct. 21st to 28th.
[Footnote 5: A flock of twenty-five were Seen at Woodham Mortimer,
Essex, on Sept. 6th. See 'Field,' Oct. 2nd.]
Redwing, _Tardus iliacus_.--At Heligoland, Sept. 6th, first flocks.

Blackbirds at midnight. Are noticed at thirteen stations from the
Farne Islands to Alderney. Great numbers appear to have crossed; at
Heligoland commenced passing later than any other of the _Merulidæ_.
There was a "great rush" on to the English coast, especially over the
Corton and Galloper light-vessels, from Oct. 19th to 22nd; a "second

27th. A very fine example of _Tardus Naumanii_ (the first that has
occurred there), a young bird, was captured on Oct. 10th; N.E., windy.
[Footnote 6: Lord Lilford (Zool., 1881, p. 24) records the first Ring
Ouzel of the season in North Northamptonshire on Sept. 21st; and two
are also recorded in 'The Zoologist' (1881, p. 26), as seen near
Harwich, Oct. 10, 1880.]
Hedgesparrow, _Accentor modularis_.--At Heligoland, Sept. 26th,
pretty large numbers, first comers. Oct. 5th, great many in garden;
8th, great many; 9th, same. At Spurn L.H., Oct. 17th, very abundant.
At Great Cotes, Sept. 21st, in bean-fields near coast. Not observed
at any other stations.
Redbreast, _Erithacus rubecula_,--At Heligoland, from Sept. 9th to

with Wheatears (see notes, Flycatcher, _M. grisola_). At Teesmouth,
many amongst the bents which grow upon the Tees breakwater early in
September (not previously noted in this locality). At Flamborough,
last week in August, great many. At Spurn, Sept. 3rd, many, left to
a bird night of 3rd. At Northrepps, Aug. 30th and 31st, "swarming."
At Yarmouth, large numbers first week in September. At Shipwash
L.V., Aug. 30th, 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., large numbers to W.N.W. The
immigration of this species is very interesting from the large and
unusual numbers which can be traced along the east coast from the
Farne Islands to the Shipwash L.V., off the mouth of the Thames. They
arrived along the entire length of the coast during the latter part
of August and early in September. At the Shipwash L.V., the most
southern station, they were going W.N.W., and at all other stations,
after touching land, evidently followed the coast-line to the south.
The migration was confined very closely to the coast, the birds going
but a short distance inland. In nearly every case they migrated in
company with or at the same time as the Wheatear.
Stonechat, _Saxicola rubicola_.--At Heligoland, Aug. 11th, young.
Sept. 3rd, 11 a.m., great many; 9th, same. Oct. 1st, 2nd and 3rd, old

Wheatear, _Saxicola œnanthe_.--At Heligoland, July 5th, small
flights, young birds; 24th, same. Sept. 16th, great many, about half
old birds. At Farne Inner L.H., Aug. 10th, several. Sept. 15th,
forty to fifty. At Teesmouth 5 Buoy L.V., Aug. 30th, 10 a.m., fog,
two came on board. Sept. 10th, great many Wheatears from S.E., and
"several small birds of a dark green colour" (Redstarts?), some on
deck. At Teesmouth, Sept. 10th, an unusually large number along
the banks between Hartlepool and Sneaton Snook, also Redstarts. At
Flamborough, last week in August, in great numbers, with Redstarts.
At Spurn, Sept. 3rd, with some Redstarts. Oct. 27th, last seen, an
old bird. At Great Cotes, September, first fortnight, very great
many. At Northrepps, Aug. 30th and 31st, great numbers and Redstarts.
Altogether there was a very large immigration on the east coast from
the Farne Islands to Yarmouth the last week in August and early in
September.
_Saxicola deserti_, Rupp.,[7] a fine old male, in perfect summer
plumage, occurred at Heligoland on June 23rd, wind W., calm, warm.
_Saxicola leucura_, Aug. 11th, E., fine, one, undoubtedly, but not
shot.
[Footnote 7: It is worthy of note that on the same day a fine example
of _Papilio podalirius_, the scarce Swallow-tail, was taken on the
island. This butterfly was added to the British list on the authority
of Haworth, but no authenticated British specimen is known: its
occurrence on Heligoland adds to the probability of its capture in
England, [_Saxicola deserti_ also occurred at Alloa, in Scotland, on
Nov. 28th, 1880.--J.A.H.B.]]
Sylviidæ.--Of the small warblers, _Hypolais icterina_, a fine
male occurred in Heligoland on June 3rd; the same day some Willow
Wrens and one _Sylvia viridanus_, a fine female, shot in Mr.
Gätke's garden, making the third Heligoland example. On July 13th,
Whitethroats; 24th, young Willow Wrens. On Aug. 24th, great many,
also some Whitethroats and Garden Warblers; 27th, Willow Wrens in
less numbers, and again in increased numbers on Sept. 3rd; on the
9th Chiffchaffs commenced migrating, also a great many Willow Wrens
and Whitethroats came; on the 15th, forenoon, Willow Wrens and Sedge
Warblers, great many in potato-fields; again, on 16th, S.E., calm,
sunny, warm, Willow Wrens, Chiffchaffs and Garden Warblers, great
many, less numbers of Blackcaps; 17th, Willow Wrens, Chiffchaffs
and Garden Warblers, less of the latter; 25th, westerly. Willow
Wrens, and great numbers of Chiffchaffs, Garden Warblers, Blackcaps
and Whitethroats; the same day, _P. superciliosus_, one fine bird
shot; besides this a large _Phylloscopus_, with very conspicuous
wing-bar, was seen. Again, on the 26th, another _P. superciliosus_,
and in the evening many Chiffchaffs, Garden Warblers and Blackcaps;
27th, Chiffchaffs, Garden Warblers, Blackcaps and Whitethroats;

superciliosus_; Chiffchaffs again on 9th, 10th and 11th; 13th, Willow
Wrens, great numbers all this latter time also. After the middle of
October the migration of the _Sylviidæ_ appears to have ceased. At
Flamborough a Willow Wren was caught on the morning after the great
storm on the night of Oct. 28th, and at Spurn on morning of 28th a
female Blackcap was shot by Mr. W. Eagle Clarke.

small birds, remaining a few hours and then going south. At Spurn
L.H., Sept. 21st, one caught on lantern. At Great Cotes, early in
October, many. At East Goodwin L.V., 10 a.m., four from N.W. came on

11th, under the same conditions. At Great Cotes, Oct. 14th, Great
Tit, many; Blue, some; and Coal Titmouse (_Parus ater_), a few.
Dec. 9th, _P. major_, several, "second rush." Migratory flocks of
the Long-tailed Titmouse (_Acredula rosea_) occurred near Cromer in

Heligoland in August and September, with one exception, appears to
have been confined to these two well-known European species--the
Blue-headed and White Wagtails of the Continent. The Grey Wagtail
(_M. sulphurea_) was first observed at Great Cotes first week in
October, and on Norfolk Coast, Sept. 25th.
Tree Pipit, _Anthus trivialis_.--At Heligoland, Aug. 22nd, young

Titlarks arriving from sea, came from N.E., wind W. At Leman and Ower
L.V., Sept. 13th, Titlarks, numbers on board, fifteen caught. At Swin
Middle L.V., Aug. 29th, 6 p.m., two Titlarks and six species of small

On the English coast the occurrences of the Shore Lark have been
numerous. At Farne Islands, one shot in the autumn. At Scarborough,
Mr. Roberts states that since the severe weather in January, 1881,
Shore Larks in small flocks have visited the coast, and several have
been shot and taken to him. At Spurn, Dec. 12th, flock of thirteen
seen. My informant, who is well acquainted with the bird, says,
"resting apparently as I was within six yards of them." At Skegness,
Lincolnshire coast, last week in October, eight shot. Near Bedford,
Oct. 28th, several seen, two shot ('Field,' Nov. 6, 1880). On Norfolk
coast a flock at Blakeney, which remained near the place for two
months, and others near Yarmouth. At Dover two procured in December.
