THIS species is only met with in England during migra- 

 tion, arriving during autumn.- It breeds in the extreme 

 north of Europe and Asia. 



The nests are merely in hollows in the moor. 

 The eggs vary in ground colour from greenish grey 

 to pale brown, being blotched with deeper brown. They 

 resemble except in size those of the Dunlin.
