SOME BIRD NOTES FROM THE OUTER 

 HEBRIDES DURING A MONTH SPENT 

 THERE, MAY-JUNE 1907. 



By P. H. BAHR, B.A., F.Z.S., M.B.O.U. 



I SHALL endeavour to make these notes supplementary to a 

 paper contributed by my friend, Mr. N. B. Kinnear, in the 

 "Annals" for January and April 1907, which in turn have 

 enabled us to bring the information contained in Mr. Harvie- 

 Brown's " Appendix " more up to date. In addition to 

 enumerating the various species observed, a few of which 

 have not been previously recorded at this time of the year, 

 I intend more especially to deal with certain traits and 

 habits incidentally observed during my efforts to obtain 

 characteristic photographs of certain of them. Though 

 such photography has been stigmatised by some as useless, 

 yet more certainly has it had the effect of causing more 

 careful observation of the home life of even our commonest 

 species, and many new and interesting facts have come to 

 light. As such, then, I present these few and meagre 

 observations, hoping that they may still prove of interest
