VOL. xni.] NOTES FROM BARDSEY ISLAND. 291 



Birds near the lighthouse, two Starlings and a Redwing. 

 7 a.m. — One or two Chaffinches, a few Starlings, and a 

 Lapwing, ii a.m. — A few small birds, mostly Chaffinches, 

 apparently moving from the southern end northwards. 



27th October. — Wind N.E., gale. Night fairly bright. 

 No birds killed. A few small birds and Starlings about. 



28th October. — Wind N.E. Occasional showers of rain. 

 Bright intervals. 

 Three Redwings killed against the lantern. A few Sky-Larks 

 and Starlings about. One Pied Wagtail. 



29th October. — Wind N.E. or N.N.E., strong. Night was 

 light, with one or more showers of rain. 

 No birds seen, except one Sky-Lark and a few Starlings. 

 Midday. — about twenty Blackbirds in mid-island, a flock of 

 Chaffinches (unmixed) and a Heron. 



30th October.^ — A few Turnstones seen on the east coast of 

 the island as the boat rowed past. 

 How very few species have suffered from the lighthouse — 

 only nine out of about fifty ! Fifty-eight species observed 

 here and perhaps nine are non-migrants here. Wind does not 

 seem to matter unless it is a gale. Small birds. Chaffinches, 

 etc., most of them have flown by day and so escaped. The 

 night-flyers have suffered only on dark nights, and then the 

 numbers killed have been small compared with those that 

 have probably passed over.
