the south-cast coast. The species was not recorded from 

 Northumberland till the 16th. 



On May the 14th some were noted at the Hants lights, and

 been smaller ' waves ' of immigrants passing through the 

 country; but as the species was by that time resident, they 

 could not be traced with certainty. Nests with eggs were 

 reported from Cambridge on the 17th.
