THE HAWFINCH. 



GROSBEAK, CHERRY FINCH. 



Coccothraustes vulgaris. 



Miss GEORGINA MILNE -HOME, Milne Graden, has kindly 

 informed me that a female Hawfinch was caught in a fruit 

 net in the garden at Lady kirk on the 2nd of September 

 1892. It was kept in a cage for a few days, when it was 

 identified by Mr. John Brotherston, gardener at Milne 

 Graden, who had frequently seen this species in the south 

 of England. 



The Hawfinch has seldom been observed in Scotland. 

 Mr. Eagle Clarke, F.L.S., records in the Annals of Scottish 

 Natural History? that on the 3rd of August 1894 a speci- 

 men of this bird in immature plumage was captured in 

 a net placed over a strawberry bed in the garden of Mr. 

 Dundas of Arniston, Mid-Lothian.
