 1907 (H. W. Robinson, Field, 22, vi., 07). 



On the eastern side of England, south of Yorkshire, the 

 Black Tern would appear by the records to be an annual bird 

 of passage, and we have not thought it worth while to give 

 the records.

 during the period under notice: — 1899, August 7th, Forth, 

 one ; 1901, end of September, Tay, two ; 1902, June 2nd,

A. Patterson, t.c, 1902, p. 391).
