PETROCINCLA SAXATILIS (Gmelin). Rock-Thrush. 



In the 'Naturalist' for 1856, p. 21, Mr. Thomas 

 Bedlington, of Middlesborough, has recorded the 

 occurrence of an example of this Thrush in June 

 1852, on the Yorkshire coast, near Robin Hood's Bay. 

 He states that he followed the bird for about two 

 miles, and often got within a dozen yards of it by 

 creeping behind the hedges. It finally disappeared 

 in a plantation.
