REPORT ON SCOTTISH ORNITHOLOGY IN I919 123 



4 A.M. on 4th October, otherwise there are no notes of continental 

 immigration. 



The Red-backed Shrike, Lanius collurio collurio. See p. loi. 



The Spotted Flycatcher, Miiscicapa striata striata. First 

 recorded from Broughton, Peeblesshire, on loth May, Rouken 

 Glen and Darvel next day, Hareshawmuir on the 13th, and Beith, 

 Swordale (E. Ross), Glenorchard, and Corsemalzie on the 14th 

 May. Thereafter up to 21st May arrivals are reported from many 

 parts of Scotland. A Spotted Flycatcher on 23rd May on Foula 

 was undoubtedly a passage migrant. Autumn movement is noted 

 in the latter half of August and throughout September; last seen 

 Crianlarich on i6th September, Balgay (Forfarshire) on the 21st 

 and Corsemalzie on 28th September. 



The Pied Flycatcher, Muscicapa hypoleuca hypoleuca. Two 

 are recorded from North Ronaldshay on 7th May, one at Noss 

 Head and a male from the Newburgh district, Aberdeenshire, next 

 day (i. 1919, 195), single birds at Fair Isle on 9th and loth May, 

 a male at Lerwick and two at North Ronaldshay on this last date, 

 one near Loch Lubnaig on 15th May, one at Contin, Ross-shire, on 

 22nd May (i. T919, 194), and an adult male in Sutherlandshire on 

 29th June. 



The only autumn record is of a bird of the year killed at the 

 Little Ross lantern on the morning of 4th September. 



The Chiffchaff, Phylloscopus collybita coUybita. Several had 

 arrived at Rouken Glen on 12th April. 



The Scandinavian Chiffchaff, Phylloscopus collybita abiett?ius. 

 A Chiffchaff recorded from Lerwick on 13th May probably 

 belonged to this subspecies, while one there on 5th December seems 

 more likely to have been Ph. c. tristis. 



The Willow-warbler, Phylloscopus trochiliis trochihis. The 

 earliest record in 1919 is from Duns on loth April, Darvel and 

 Broughton on 19th April, Kilchattan Bay, Kilmacolm, and 

 Haddington next day. After this there are many notes of the 

 arrival of breeding birds right up to i8th May. A very early 

 passage migrant is reported from Lerwick on 17th and i8th April, 

 and passage migration was noted at this station and Fair Isle from 

 loth to 14th May. Autumn movement is recorded during 

 September; last seen Glenorchard and Largo on 12th September, 

 Corsemalzie on 14th, Balgay on 21st, and Broughty Ferry on 22nd 

 September. A Willow-warbler at Noss Head on 1 7th October was 

 doubtless a passage migrant.
