Of the 132 species of birds which have come under our 
notice, or which have been reported to us, no less than 91 
breed annually within the area, while 11 only of this total 
take the rank of casual visitors. No doubt many rare birds 
have from time to time visited, and do visit, West Ross- 
shire, but the number of the resident naturalists is so small 
that most of these pass unnoticed. 
We have already made some allusion to the birds in the 
general remarks on the fauna and elsewhere, and as each 
species is treated of in the annotated list that follows, little 
remains to be said regarding them. There are, however, a 
few species deserving special mention. 
The White-tailed Eagle, which for some years has been 
considered to be extinct as a resident species on the main- 
land of Great Britain, we have good authority for saying 
nested in the district down to 1889, and may, perhaps, still 
survive. 
The Snow Bunting is another rare resident worthy of 
notice. Some common and generally distributed species are 
quite rare, and we can only account for such being the case 
on the supposition that they are perhaps recent colonists. 
These are the Sedge Warbler, Great Titmouse, Blue Titmouse, 
Greenfinch, Jackdaw, etc. 
As regards the movements of migratory birds, the coast of 
West Ross-shire does not le in the course of the main West 
Coast stream, which appears to be very much confined to the 
shores and isles of the. Minch and the Little Minch. The
