SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER AND NovEeMBER, 1874. 
Lark.—September 29. There was a large immigration of larks 
about this date: they came either on the night of the 28th or the 
preceding; weather wild and stormy; wind south-west; full moon 
on the 25th. There were many thousands congregated in the 
stubbles, near the coast, on the morning of the 29th. 
Swift—Sept. 30. Last seen; a single bird; immature. 
Turtle Dove.—October 2. I have seen a single turtle dove for 
the last week in the vicinity of a small plantation in one of my 
fields. It is of very rare occurrence in this district. 
Wild Geese.—Oct. 5. First appearance. 
Greenfinch.—F locks of male greenfinches appeared. 
Buzzard.—Oct. 7. There was a buzzard to-day—a very dark 
bird—in one of the plantations; subsequently I have seen it at 
intervals, in the evening, near the same locality, throughout 
October and November. It is dreadfully bullied by the hooded 
and carrion crows. 
Chimney Swallow and House Martin.—Still numerous; but all 
are birds of the year. 
Bartailed Godwit-——Oct. 14. Noticed a flock of thirteen on the 
foreshore this morning. They have been uncommonly plentiful 
during the autumn. 
Hooded Crow.—1 saw hooded crows on the wolds on the 
17th. A party of about forty were seen on the foreshore in this 
parish on the 15th, when I find there was a general arrival along 
the coast. 
Woodcock.—Oct. 15. Two seen; one shot. The first flight 
arrived about this date; others, after the heavy gale from south- 
west to west-north-west, on the 2lst. Up to this date (Nov. 30) 
an unusually good woodcock season in North Lincolnshire.
