Ai Grey Phalarope (Phalaropus fidicarius) was picked 

 up dead near here on January 21st. W.S., Brighton, 23/1/' 13. 

 From December 28th till January 5th, three Siskins 

 frequented this garden, feeding close to the house on seeds of 

 Cupressus Lawsoniana. They were very tame and allowed 

 us to approach quite close to them without taking fright.

 January. Bad weather for observing, but can add the 

 following to my 'December list: Moor-hen, Coot, Common Gull, 

 Curlew, Wren, Missel -Thrush, Stonechat, Hedge Accentor, 

 Long-tailed, Great, and Blue Tits, Pied Wagtail, Tree, Meadow, 

 and Rock Pipits, and Greenfinch. Chaffinches are still in 

 separate flocks, but a pair were seen on 21st. StonecTiats and 

 Tree Pipits now pairing. Cock Robins are excessively numer- 

 ous, and in full song. No other songsters. Hen Robins 

 scarce. An immense flock of Starlings, flying high, arrived 

 on 12th, at -1 p.m., apparently from the south.
