No. 4. Black Redstart. 



This is the second record of this species at Pentland Skerries in spring, 

 and we can scarcely doubt that it is a regular place of call of many rare or 

 Continental species on migration. 



No. 5. Black Redstart. 



If with any other species, name them here :— Starlings, Larks, 



and Gold Crests at lantern previous night, and rested on island all day ; 

 Chaffinches, 2 Fieldfares, and about 40 Hooded Crows and 1 Carrion Crow. 

 All appeared to come from the south. 



This Black Redstart was shot on the top of the wall over the porch of the 

 lighthouse at 10 a. m. Another bird of the same species was observed next day.
