72 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 



December. Three Scarlet Grosbeaks were observed on Fair 

 Isle on 19th September, and an Ortolan was on the Isle 

 of May on 12th and 13th May. A Lapp Bunting was on 

 Fair Isle on 7th September, and two on the Isle of May 

 on 14th September ; while a Wood Lark visited the latter 

 station on 12th May. Shore Larks, single birds in each 

 case, are reported from the Isle of May on 4th May and 

 Fair Isle on 7th November. Blue-headed Wagtails are 

 noted on Fair Isle on 20th September (2), 21st and 23rd 

 September (i), 9th and nth October (i), and a Marsh 

 Titmouse was seen at Duns, Berwickshire, on 25th January 

 (i. 1921, 86). A male Woodchat Shrike appeared on 

 the Isle of May on 12th May, and Waxwings are 

 recorded from Alyth in mid-January, Penpont, Dumfries- 

 shire, on 24th January (2) (i. 1921, 36), Larkhall, Lanark- 

 shire, on 2nd February (i. 1921, 36), and one was found 

 dead near Lochfoot, Kirkcudbrightshire, about 20th February 

 (i. 1921, 70). The great immigration of Waxwings in 

 November and December is tJie outstanding event in 

 Scottish Ornithology in 192 1. It is to be fully chronicled 

 in the pages of the Scottish Naturalist, and it is thus 

 unnecessary to recapitulate the records here. Suffice it to 

 say that large numbers of Waxwings are reported and the 

 immigration extended from Shetland to the Solway, and 

 from the Outer Hebrides to East Lothian and even into 

 England. 



A Red-breasted Flycatcher visited the Isle of May on 

 1 8th September, while a Yellow-browed Warbler was at 

 this station on 20th September. Red-spotted Bluethroats, 

 probably Luscinia svecica gaetkei occurred on Fair Isle on 

 26th and 29th September, and Hoopoes, single birds in each 

 case, are reported from the same station on 3rd and 4th 

 October, and from Clashnadarrock, Aberdeenshire, in early 

 October (i. 1921, 178). A Little Owl is recorded from 

 Melrose on 28th April, a first record for Tweed, an adult 

 male Iceland Falcon arrived on Sule Skerry exhausted, 

 during a N.W. hurricane on 19th January (i. 1921, 185), 

 and Greenland Falcons, single birds in each case, are 

 reported from Vallay (O.H.) on nth, 12th, and 14th April
