72 The Birds of Pembrokeshire. 
have seen it in little parties on the lake at Stackpole in the 
early spring, and one winter one was shot on one of the ponds 
at Stone Hall. It may occasionally remain to nest. Great 
numbers are to be seen during the winter diving in the shallows 
in Goodwick Bay. 
SCAUP, /udicula marila—A winter visitor; common. This is 
more of a maritime species, and is very rarely met with at any 
distance from the coast. In general it keeps some little distance 
out at sea, where it may be met with throughout the winter in 
large flocks. Sir Hugh Owen sees it commonly off Goodwick. 
It is hardly worth powder and shot for the table, as the flesh 
is strong and rank, 
POCHARD, fuligula ferina—A winter visitor; not uncominon. 
Has occurred to ourselves on small ponds, some distance from 
the coast. Some are taken on the decoy, at Orielton. Mr. 
Dix mentions one that was shot on a pond in his neighbourhood. 
This species is also an accomplished diver. 
GOLDEN-EYE, Clangula glaucion.—A winter visitor; not very 
common. Mr. Dix states that a few are seen most winters, but 
that adult Mallards are rare. In the severe winter of 1880 we 
saw several in immature plumage, on the Cleddy, below Stone 
Hall. Two adult Mallards in the National Collection at South 
Kensington are labelled ‘‘ Pembrokeshire,” and were presented 
by Lord Cawdor. The Golden-eye is often met with on the 
bays along the coast, in company with Scaups, Pochards, and 
Tufted Ducks, a few Common Scoters sometimes mingled with 
them, all diving together in the shallows over some favourite 
feeding-grounds. 
LONG-TAILED DUCK, arelda glacialis.—An occasional winter 
visitor; rare. There are two immature birds of this species in 
Lord Cawdor’s collection that had been shot at Stackpole. Mr. 
Tracy informed Mr. Dix that one was shot at Haverfordwest, on
