June. — June witnesses the close of the spring 

 migratory movements. Few birds arrive as summer 

 visitors during the month, but the Marsh-Warbler is one 

 of them, being the latest of all to appear. 



Several species of Birds of Passage whose summer 

 homes lie within the arctic circle, or amid the polar 

 regions, continue to traverse our shores, some of them 

 in considerable numbers, during the earlier days of the 

 month, and even beyond that period. 



Among these latest spring travellers are the Mealy 

 Redpoll, Snow- Bunting, Greater Wheatear, Osprey, 

 "Swans," "Wild Geese," Golden-eye, Scaup, Golden 

 Plover, Grey Plover, Knot, Turnstone, Red-necked 

 Phalarope, Purple Sandpiper, Dunlin, Little Stint, 

 Sanderling, Bar-tailed Godwit, Black-tailed Godwit, 

 Whimbrel, Pomatorhine Skua, Buffon's Skua, Great 

 Northern Diver, and Red-throated Diver. Others there

 These are the Honey - Buzzard, Barnacle Goose, 

 Wigeon, Long-tailed Duck, Jack Snipe, Ruff, Green
