 September and occasionally to 16 October.

 Occurs on both spring and autumn passage, at the former 

 season from 27 April to 22 May, at the latter from 9 August 

 throughout September, and occasionally up to raid-October. 

 This bird is strongly attracted by light, much more so than 

 the preceding species. 



*]V[uscicapa parva parva. The Red-breasted Flycatcher, 

 An uncommon visitor to the island : the records, all of single 

 birds, are 25 September 1909,28 September 1912, 1 October 

 1913, and 28 September 1916, all with easterly winds. 



Hirundo rustica rustica. The Swallow. A bird of double 

 passage, occurring in spring from 18 April throughout May, 

 and in autumn from mid -August to mid-October, and once 

 on 4 November. Swallows migrate largely by day ; we have 

 seen them at both migration periods performing their daylight 

 journeys. 



Delichon urbica urbica. The House-Martin. A bird of 

 double passage ; its spring movements are between 4tli and 

 end of May, its autumn chiefly in September. This and the 

 preceding species are occasionally reported during summer, 

 but these are probably birds over from the mainland. 



Riparia riparia riparia. The Sand-Martin. Passes in 

 small numbers in spring and autumn ; at the former season 

 the only notes we have are between 2 & 29 May, at the 

 latter between 18 July and 17 September. 



Dryobates major major. The Northern Great Spotted 

 Woodpecker. On 16 September, 1909, a bird of the year 

 visited the island. It fed on the ants in the grassy mounds, 

 progressing with clumsy flight from one to the other. 



lynx torquilla torquilla The Wryneck. An occasional 

 visitor, single birds having been recorded in May, August, 

 and September.
