The year 1921 brought much of interest; three new 

 birds were added to the Scottish avifauna — the Greater 

 Snow Goose shot in February, and referred to in our last 

 Report (i. 1 92 1, 108), was new to Scotland, and as a result 

 of Dr Eagle Clarke's return to Fair Isle in autumn the 

 Eastern Lesser Whitethroat was added to the British list 

 and the Yellow-legged Herring-gull to the Scottish list. 

 The extension of breeding range shows no species new to 

 Scotland, but more species than usual are recorded as 

 spreading into new localities ; the observation and working 

 out of these increases are among the most interesting and 

 important branches of ornithology. The fine summer proved 

 favourable to nesting and a good many records come of 

 unusually large clutches of eggs. The outstanding event in 

 migration was the big immigration of Waxwings which took 

 place in November and December ; otherwise, migration 

 seems to have run a fairly normal course, though a good 

 many uncommon visitors are recorded.
