The migration of this species began in mid-July, being first noticed iu 

 the Isle of Man on the 16th, while a distinct rush was recorded from the 

 Butt of Lewis (Outer Hebrides) on the 30th. From that date till 

 nearly the end of October there was a steady passage of Wheatears in 

 small numbers along almost all parts of the coast, Avith occasionally 

 a larger movement in a few places. All the birds observed during 

 August belonged to the smaller race. During that month Wheatears 

 were on the move throughout the country, records being received from 

 the east coast of England, the inland parts of Kent, the south coast and 

 several of the western lights, while there was a more decided influx at 

 Portmahomack (E. Ross) on the 24th, at the Flannans (Outer Hebrides)
