REPORT ON SCOTTISH ORNITHOLOGY IN I914 153 



reported from Fair Isle on 7th May, 23rd October, and 

 2nd November (i. 191 5, 103). A Grey-headed Wagtail 

 {Motacilla flava thunbergi) was on the Isle of May on 

 20th May (i. 19 14, 199), and another at Lerwick on 13th 

 September ( I. 1915, 115), while either Grey or Blue-headed 

 Wagtails visited Fair Isle in May, July, and x^ugust. From 

 25th October onwards there was quite an immigration of 

 the continental Great Titmouse {Parus major major') into 

 Shetland, which will be fully detailed in the list under 

 species (Messrs TuUoch, Bruce, Kay, and Wilson), a particu- 

 larly interesting point being that some at least of the birds 

 stayed on into winter and are recorded up to the end of 

 the year. There are a good many Waxwings {Bombycilla 

 garruliis) to notice in this Report, and for the sake of 

 completeness we will mention some late 191 3 records, 

 which did not reach us in time to be included in our last 

 Report. In December 191 3 a Waxwing was procured on 

 Pomona (G. Stout) ; two are recorded near Earlston (Rev. 

 W. M'Conachie), and one near Lauder (W. M'Conachie). 

 About 2nd January 1914 a female is reported in Inver- 

 gowrie (Professor L. R. Sutherland), and a few in Tummel 

 Valley on 3rd January {Scotsman). One at Whauphill on 

 23rd January (3. vii. 293), a Waxwing at Invermoidart 

 from 25th to 27th January (S. M. Macvicar), a male at 

 Naughton, Fife, about this time (Professor L. R. Suther- 

 land), while in January single birds were seen repeatedly 

 about Errol {idejii), and once at New Deer, Dee (i. 191 5, 

 127). Northern Chiffchaffs {P/iylloscoptis collybita abie- 

 tinus) occurred at Fair Isle in May and October, and at 

 Lerwick (i. 191 5, 22) and the Isle of May (S. Baigrie, 

 bird sent) in autumn, while Siberian Chiffchaffs {Phyllo- 

 scopus collybita tristis) were procured at Lerwick (i. 191 5, 

 22) and Fair Isle (i. 191 5, 104) on 24th October. Yellow- 

 browed Warblers {Phylloscopus superciliosus superciliosus) 

 occurred on Fair Isle on 8th and 28th October (i. 191 5, 

 104), and at the same station a Reed-warbler {Acrocephalus 

 streperus strepcrus) is recorded on loth June (i. 191 5, 104), 

 the fifth known occurrence of this species in Scotland, and 

 a Marsh-warbler {Acrocephalus palustris), the fourth Scottish
