 records, four refer to the summer of marking, two to the

 the bird's third winter (February). The remaining cases 

 exhibit movement : — 



Case 440 : Marked as a nestling at Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, on 

 5 June, 1913 ; 

 shot near Montrose, Forfarshire, in November of the

 Case 441 : Marked as a nestling at Beith, Ayrshire, on 27 May, 

 1913; 

 shot at Shifnal, Shropshire, on 23 January, 1914. 



The species is both a resident in the British Isles and a 

 winter visitor in very variable numbers : the local movements 

 of the two categories are not distinguishable by other methods 

 than that of marking.
