Wood Wren. — Arrived on May 5th. 



Sedge Warbler. — Arrived May 5tli. 



Grasshopper Warbler. — First heard "reeling" at Whinstone 

 Dyke on May 6th. Found a nest near Thornaby, on July 17th, 

 with five eggs. 



White Wagtail. — This bird seems to be a regular Spring 

 migrant to this district. I saw it first on May 6th this year, 

 and at intervals until July, at a place near Middlesbrough. I 

 saw a fine male at Osmotherley, on May 19 th. The eggs of the 

 Osmotherley pair were taken in 1899 and were shown at the 

 Exhibition '( Y.N. U.). 



Pied Wagtail. — Nest with five eggs at Tees-mouth on June 24th. 



Grey Wagtail. — A pair at Ingleby, after several unsuccessful 

 efforts to rear young in a wall, brought off a brood in an old 

 thrush's nest. 



Yellow Wagtail. — Arrived on April 22nd. 



* Blue Headed Wagtail. — Three seen in company with Yellow 

 Wagtails at Tees-mouth, on May 6th. 



Tree Pipit. — Arrived on April 21st. 



Great Grey Shrike. — Saw a single bird at Tees-mouth, on 

 November 17th. 



* Red Backed Shrike. — A young friend of mine, named 

 Telford, took a nest of this bird at Gunnergate, in June, 1898. 

 It had two eggs, which were taken, and I can testify to the eggs 

 being genuine. This is, I believe, the first record for Cleveland, 

 and perhaps the most northerly record for England of late years. 



Spotted Flycatcher. — First noticed at Ingleby on May 10th. 



Swallow. — Arrived at Middlesbrough on April 20th. 



Martin. — Arrived on April 23rd. 



Sand Martin. —Noted on April 19th.
