THE Grey Plover is not a numerous species in Britain, 

 and, indeed, in many parts, its appearance seems almost li- 

 mited to the period of its migrations, that is, when passing 

 in autumn to its winter quarters, and in spring on its return 

 to the colder regions of the north. In Northumberland there 

 are a few stations on the coast, where it is found durino- the 

 whole winter, but only in families or small flocks. It gene- 

 rally arrives about the middle of September (sometimes even 

 earlier), at which time several of the old birds still retain a

 plumage.
