NOTES. 293 



wood is convinced that not less than twenty pairs nest annually 

 in that district. This observation should be compared with 

 other Perthshire nesting-records in 1907 (Vol. I., p. 281) ; 

 while Mr. Harvie-Bro\\'n has already showTi that the bird 

 had reached Dunkeld m 1908 (.4rm. S.N.H., 1908, p. 212).—

Supposed Lesser Kestrel in Lincolnshire. — In the 

 Naturalist (1910, p. 345) Mr. C. S. Carter recorded that an 

 immature female Falco cenchris had been shot at Grainthorpe 

 on October 9th, 1909. Mr. G. H. Caton Haigh has, however, 

 examined the specimen and finds it to be a common Kestrel 

 in rather worn and faded plumage. 



Glossy Ibis in the Outer Hebrides. — -A Glossy Ibis 

 (Plegadis falcinellus) is recorded by Mr. H. Newton {Field, 

 10. xii. 1910, p. 1094) as having been shot in South Uist 

 " last month " {i.e., November, 1910). 



The late Charles Kingsley Siddall. — It is with much 

 regret that we record the death, which took place on November 

 16th, 1910, of Charles Kingsley Siddall, at the age of thirty- 

 two years. Mr. Siddall was a contributor of useful notes 

 to our pages, and we have received an interesting little 

 memorial tribute from his parents in the shape of an 

 illustrated booklet containing some of his observations, 

 and entitled Bird-Life in a Suburban Garden.
