I902. Warren. — The White Wagtail 171 Killala Bay. 161 



1901. 



1 2th May. — Two seen in stable-yard. 



20th May. — One seen feeding on lawn outside the parlour 

 windows. 



1902. 



8th, 9th, loth, nth May — Several birds seen. 



As these birds were seen, in every instance, during the con- 

 tinuance of, or immediately after, northerly winds, it looks as if 

 they visit Bartragh only to rest after fighting against adverse 

 winds, and recruit their strength before continuing their long 

 flight to Iceland.
