SPRING MIGRATION IN BRITISH AREA 253 



the Lesser Redpole, the Pied Wagtail, the Meadow 

 Pipit, the Golden Plover, the Curlew, and the Dunlin, 

 beginning in March and continuing into April. With 

 these species the movement is more contracted, in some 

 the bulk of the flight taking place in March, in others 

 in April. Some few species, such as the Linnet, the 

 Twite, the Lesser Redpole, the Golden Plover, and the 

 Curlew, prolong their migration into May, but these are 

 individuals that breed at the highest elevations and in 

 the most northerly localities. In our islands all vertical 

 migration ceases in May, but in higher latitudes it is 

 prolonged even into June. 



The following table will indicate the duration of the 

 principal Migration across the British Archipelago in 

 Spring.
