ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES FROM A SOUTH LONDON SUBURB 
GEESE. 
On 13th September, 1891, two flew high over my garden 
—species not distinguishable,— but were to all appearance 
wild birds; and on 25th May, 1907, I saw five Canada Geese 
flying at a low altitude near Dulwich; these, however, had no 
doubt come from Brockwell Park. 
DIVEN. 
One —in all probabilty a red-throat — flew W. over my 
garden, and not more than 50 yards high, on April 12th, 1905 
GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULL. 
Some of the extra-sized immature Gulls occasionally seen 
may be safely referred to this species, but they are compara- 
tively rare 
I have read of the Kittiwake and Little Gull being recog- 
nised between the bridges, but never had the good fortune to 
see either myself. 
The 6 summer visitors classified as “ accidentals ” — viz., 
Ring Ousel, Grasshopper Warbler, Red-breasted Pipit, White 
Wag-tail, Quail, and Common Tern—have already been noticed 
under that group. 
EVAR KOUS® 
Of these there are 6—all, of course, escapes. 
TURTUR RISORIA. 
I have seen this bird at large on the following occasions 
April 16th, 1896, one in my garden; March 18th, 1902, a pair 
) anal 6 E 7, = 1t 
m St. James Park; and July 7th, 1905, a single bird in a 
neighbour’s garden. 
PARROT TRIBE. 
Of these, 4 have been observed.
