TURNSTONE. 
Although a regular migrant to our shores, a few remain with us 
throughout the winter, and there is good ground for believing some 
breed within the British Islands. See Harting, ‘ Handbook of 
British Birds,’ p. 44; Gray, ‘ Birds of West of Scotland;’ and 
Thompson, ‘ Birds of Ireland,’ vol. ii. p. 120.

This bird formerly nested regularly in the fens ; but, owing to the 
gradual drainage of their haunts, and undue persecution in the 
spring, very few now breed here, and that only in favoured localities. 
It is still, however, a regular spring and autumn migrant.

This is another wanderer from the American continent. It has

has given fifteen instances of its capture here.
