Introduction. \r/^f ^"' 



In 192 1 we again received an excellent series of notes for 

 incorporation in this Report. We much appreciate the 

 trouble taken by our correspondents and sincerely thank all 

 those who have been instrumental in keeping up our national 

 ornithological Report. Special thanks are due to Dr Eagle 

 Clarke for kindly lending us his Fair Isle diary : the informa- 

 tion therein contained is of great interest and value. Since 

 our last Report appeared we have sustained a great loss in 

 the death of Mr John S. Tulloch, who for many years has 

 sent a valuable series of notes from Shetland. The absence 

 of these will be a serious loss to our future Reports and we 

 would ask all in Shetland who are interested in ornithology 

 to send us as many notes as possible, so that this very 

 important part of our area may be adequately represented. 

 We trust that our correspondents will continue to send notes 

 and records, and suggest that they induce their friends to 

 do likewise. Notes for the Report should be sent to us 

 before the end of February, after which we cannot undertake 

 to include them. 



Our thanks are due, in the Northern group of localities, to 

 — Messrs Henry Jamieson, Out Skerries; W. H. Greenaway, 

 Foula ; The Lightkeepers, Whalsay Skerries, and Jerome 

 Wilson, Fair Isle. In the Eastern group, to — Mr H. C. 

 Brewster Macpherson, Kingussie ; Miss J. Gowan, Banffshire; 

 Messrs H. G. Watson and D. Hunter, Arbroath; Professor 

 W. C. MTntosh, Nevay Park; Mrs Carmichael, Meigle; 

 Messrs H. R. Colman, Broughty Ferry, and Henry Boase, 

 Dundee, etc.; Professor L. R. Sutherland, Dundee ; Colonel 

 R. Drummond Hay, Upper Tay Estuary; Dr J. E. Somerville,
