Apparently still increasing in Scotland, as it is now recorded 
as breeding regularly even in the most northern counties.

Obs.—It has been thought that a few pairs of the Redwing 
(Turdus iliacus) occasionally remain during summer and nest 
in this country. Mr. Blyth, in Charlesworth’s ‘ Mag. of Nat. 
Hist. states that he had known several such instances in 
Surrey: he also quotes (vol. i. p. 440) the statement of a dealer, 
that a nest was taken at Barnet. Yarrell mentions a nest found 
at Godalming; and one taken in Leicestershire is recorded in 
the ‘ Zoologist’ for 1864, p. 9248. 
In Shropshire, Mr. Eyton has noticed that some remain all the 
summer near Eyton. - 
In the summer of 1855, Dr. Saxby found a nest in North 
Wales. It was placed in a tall Portugal laurel ; and he ‘re- 
peatedly observed the bird sitting on her eggs, which he after- 
wards took (see Zoologist, 1861, p. 7427). 
In the Outer Hebrides, Mr. Bullock stated that he had found 
a nest in Harris; and in Orkney, Mr. Low observed a pair 
“in Hoy through the greatest part of summer” (Faun. Ore. 
p- 58). 
The Fieldfare (Twrdus pilaris) also is recorded by Mr. Blyth 
to have bred at Merton in Surrey (Charlesworth’s Mag. Nat.
