White Wagtails being on the latter station on 21st August. On the 

 east, records come from Monifieth, Tain, Portmahomack, Arbroath, 

 and Invergowrie between 13th August and 14th September, and on 

 the west from Pladda, Turnberry, Luce Bay, and Alticig from 27th 

 August to 1 7th September. 



The Pied Wagtail, Motacilla alba bigubris. There are some 

 records of Pied Wagtails in February and early March, but no 

 distinct movement is shown till i6th March, when an arrival began 

 and immigrants are reported from many stations up to 21st April. 

 Several visited Fair Isle on 9th May, and Lerwick on 21st, 23rd, 

 and 31st August. By 24th August they were collecting into flocks 

 at Seggieden, and much autumn movement is noted, chiefly from 

 stations in Southern Scotland, from this date up to i8th October. 

 In November and December there are records of small numbers, 

 chiefly from Fife and Wigtownshire, no doubt wintering birds. 



The British Great Titmouse, Parus major newtoni. A 

 Great Tit {$), probably of this race, is recorded from Kinlochewe, 

 where they are rare, on 14th April. 



The British Willow Titmouse, Parus atricapillus klein- 

 schmidti. A Willow Tit is reported from Bathgate on loth May and 

 a party in East Ross on 24th June (2. xiii. 195). One was seen at 

 Corsemalzie on 14th September and one on 17th September on the 

 hills between Braemar and x\viemore, just under 2000 ft. high 

 (2, xiii. 195). It is probable that these are all referable to the 

 British race. 



The British Long-tailed Titmouse, /^githalos caudatus 

 roseiis. A flock of twelve near Invergowrie on 29th November were 

 the first seen by our recorder there since 191 6, and flocks of 

 seventeen on 13th October and eighteen on i8th December were the 

 only ones seen about Corsemalzie in 1919. 



The Goldcrest, Regidus regulus. Four Goldcrests taken at 

 the Little Ross lantern at 2 a.m. on 8th April may have been 

 returning migrants of our British R. r. afigiori//ii, while great 

 numbers at North Ronaldshay on 17th April and single birds at 

 Lerwick on 6th and loth May were no doubt the continental 

 R. r. regulus on its way overseas. 



From 13th September to 23rd October there are a good many 

 records of Goldcrests from the Little Ross and Pladda lanterns and 

 of increases at Bathgate and Glenorchard. It seems most probable 

 that this was the southward movement of our breeding birds. 

 A Goldcrest of the typical form is noted at Noss Head lantern at
