CHATS. RS 
BLACK REDSTART. uticilla tithys (Scopoli). 
A winter visitant to England; rare in Scotland and 
Ireland. In a few instances has remained to nest, 
e.g. near Rugeley, Staffordshire (Hawkins, ‘ Zoologist,’ 
1852, p. 3503); at Durham (Proctor, in ‘Ormsby’s 
Sketches of Durham’); in Nottinghamshire, three 
nests (Sterland, ‘ Birds of Sherwood Forest,’ p. 67); 
in Pembrokeshire (More, fide Tracy, ‘Ibis,’ 1865, 
p. 21); and in the Isle of Wight (Bond). Dr. Bull- 
more, in his ‘ Cornish Fauna’ (p. 16), says this bird is 
‘found every summer in the cliffs between Swanpool 
and Castle Head, Cornwall.” It is a scarce bird in 
Scotland, where, however, it is said to have nested 
once, near Dumfries (Gray, ‘ Birds of West of Scot- 
land,’ p. 85); and in Ireland it is only known as a 
rare strageler. 
STONECHAT. Saaicola rubicola (Linnus). 
Resident in many districts throughout the year, 
particularly in Scotland; but at the same time partially 
migratory in spring and autumn. It does not breed 
in Orkney or Shetland. 
WHINCHAT. Sazicola rubetra (Linneus). 
A summer migrant; less common in Ireland than 
elsewhere, and not found in Orkney or Shetland. 
WHEATEAR. Saaicola enanthe (Linneeus). 
A summer migrant. A few occasionally remain the 
winter in England and Scotland, but not in Ireland.
