REPORT ON SCOTTISH ORNITHOLOGY IN 1 92 1 117 



2nd August a large flock went south-east over Lahill, and one was 

 at the Isle of May lantern 2 8/2 9th September. 



Thrush, Turdus philovielus. — A good many returns of our 

 T. ph. darkei are recorded from inland breeding-places from 

 8th February to rgth March. Thrushes at Fair Isle on 30th 

 April, and one at the Isle of May on 6th May, were probably the 

 continental T. ph. philomelus on its way overseas. By 6th July 

 Thrushes were seen on the Isle of May, and from this time 

 throughout August and September we have notes of a considerable 

 movement from our southern stations and lanterns, no doubt our 

 T. ph. clarkei departing. From 23rd September to 26th October 

 notes come of what was evidently an immigration of T. ph. 

 philomelus., while from 30th October to 12th November records 

 from Ailsa Craig and Hyskeir refer possibly to an emigration 

 to Ireland. 



Redwing, Turdus inusicus. — Northward movement is noted 

 continuously from i8th March to 6th April; last seen. Fossil Marsh 

 9th April, and a flock of fifty at Corsemalzie on 17th April. First 

 seen in autumn on 27th September, immigration took place through- 

 out October, and many notes of arrival come from stations in all 

 parts of Scotland. From 3rd to 14th November some were at 

 Hyskeir, and large numbers appeared at Largo on 26th December.

 is reported from the Isle of May on 6th, 7th, loth, and 12th May.

Blackbird, Turdus nierula merula. — Some Blackbirds arrived 

 at Pladda on 20th February, and from 19th March to 12th April a 

 good deal of movement of small numbers is noted at Isle of May, 

 Noss Head, and Pladda. A few arrived on Fair Isle on 30th April, 

 and some were at the Isle of May lantern 5/6th May. The 

 first autumn arrivals are reported on Fair Isle on 20th September, 

 and from then till 5th October there are records of small numbers 

 from this station, the Isle of May, and Ailsa Craig. From i8th 

 October to 14th November a considerable movement took place 

 and is recorded only from Fair Isle and west coast stations, viz.,

 lantern at the last-named station on 2 7/2 8th November.
