Anholt. Thirty-one years' experience. Most birds perish 

 with S. E. wind and fog. The main passage is believed to

 S. W. to N. E. The smaller birds, when not killed at the 

 first stroke, will fly at the light again and again, mostly 

 on the lee side, tili they are hurt or exhausted. The larger 

 birds (ducks, snipes, curlews, &c,) 1 have never observed 

 striking more than once; if unhurt they continue their 

 vovage; when one of a Company has been disabled, the 

 others may be heard calling for some time, but they do 

 not strike again. The birds breeding here have never been 

 observed to strike. — Breeding birds: Maage (three species),
