seen. On the 11th March great numbers of Lapwings, Curlews, 
Blackbirds, and ‘‘ Sea-piets,” from 12 midnight till first streak of 
day, when all disappeared ; cannot say in which direction; wind

flew off again; sexes not made out. A perceptible increase in 
our birds at inland localities took place about this time, and 
notes on migration taken at various inland localities corroborate

March 6th for first time. Great Tits much increased in numbers, 
as also Chaffinches, Starlings, Thrushes, Blackbirds, &c.
