GREENLAND WHEATEAR IN DERBYSHIRE. 



As the Greenland Wheatear {CEnanthe oe. hucorrhoa) has 

 not hitherto been recorded for Derbyshire, and the material 

 for the study of its migration from inland districts is very 

 scanty, it may be of interest to record that on September 14th, 

 1912, Mr. G. L. Spilsbury shot a female in a field at Findern 

 where the cabbage cx'op had partially failed and large open 

 spaces existed between the plants. I examined this specimen 

 at Messrs. Hutchinson's, where it was being set up, and 

 found the wing-measurement just over 100 mm.

BLACK REDSTARTS IN ANGLESEY. 



On the morning of October 15th, 1912, there was an adult 

 male Black Redstart (Phoenicurus o. gihraliariensis) in a 

 garden-patch abutting on the harbour at Holyhead. The 

 bird was in a state of restless activity, catching insects, now 

 upon the ground, now among and upon the cabbages and other 

 garden stuff, and occasionally snapping flies from the face of 

 the boundary wall, upon which it would alight foi- an instant. 

 When I visited the garden again on the 18th with Mr. T. A. 

 Coward, the bird was still there, but we failed to find it on 

 the 23rd. On the 22nd Ave watched another — either an adult 

 female or a bird of the year — on the cliffs at PenrliAni Mawr, 

 a mile to the south of the South Stack Lighthouse.

BLACK REDSTART IN CARNARVONSHIRE. 



On November 2nd, 1912, I had an excellent view of a Black 

 Redstart {Phoenicurus o. gihraltariensis) as it flitted about 

 a rock-bestrewn cliff-top on the north-easterly side of the 

 Great Orme's Head. Its black chin and breast, the deep 

 greyish feathers of its croAATi and back — so different from 

 the dull broA\iiish-grey plumage of the female — and the 



* The Reed-Warl)ler was fii-st authentically recorded as Irish 

 from a specimen obtained at Rocivabill in 1908, but subsequently on 

 examining carefully the legs and wings obtained in 1907, those of a 

 specimen killed striking at the Codling Bank Lightship, 3.XT.07, were 

 identified as certainly belonging to this species.
