Local Birds. 



II. — Local Birds. Communicated by Mr Robert M'Call, 

 Carsethorn, Kirkbean. 



The annexed list of local birds is not offered as complete, 

 but as an attempt to record those captured or recognised by a 

 collector and observer on the coast of the Sohvay. All the birds 

 named have been captured or seen within the limited area 

 embraced between Colvend and Newabbey, and were mainly 

 seen in the parish of Kirkbean and its coast, or on the Solway 

 opposite. The list of land birds is incomplete, as the observer 

 has not much opportunity of seeing those frequenting the wood- 

 lands.
