MITEY—MOOR. 159 
Mo.tiy Mawk. See Mallemuck. 
Motiy WasuH-pisH: The PIED WAGTAIL. (Hampshire, 
Somerset.) 
MotrookeN: The GREAT CRESTED GREBE. (Lough 
Neagh.)

MONTAGU’S HARRIER [No. 246]. The name seems to occur 
first in Yarrell (1843) perhaps as a translation of Temminck’s 
Busard montagu (‘‘ Man.,’’ 1, p. 76). It is so called in honour 
of Col. Montagu, as he was for long supposed to be the 
first describer of the species under the name of Ash-coloured 
Falcon (“‘ Orn. Dict.,” 1, 1802). He was, however, antici- 
pated by Albin, who in 1738 published a plate of the species 
which was later used by Linnzus (“ Syst. Nat.,” 1, p. 89, 
1758) in describing the bird under the name of Falco 
pygargus, thus antedating Montagu. 
Montuty Birp: The FIELDFARE. (Forfar.) Swainson 
thought it might stand for mountain bird. 
MoonrE: The GOLDEN-CRESTED WREN is said to be so 
called at Holy Island, while in Roxburghshire it is called 
“moon” or “muin.” It is said that these names are 
derived from the frequent appearance of the bird during 
a full ““ Hunter’s Moon” (Bolam). Mr. Witherby tells me 
“Shiely”? is a more frequent Holy-Island name for 
this bird. 
Moor Brrap: The RED GROUSE is sometimes so called in 
Yorkshire. 
Moor BiackBirp: The RING-OUZEL. (Cheshire and North 
Yorkshire.) 
Moor BuzzarpD or More Buzzard: The MARSH-HARRIER. 
(Probably obsolete.) Formerly a common indigenous 
species before the draining of the fens and marshes, from its 
partiality to which the bird takes its name, the “ moor ”’ 
being equivalent to “mire” or marsh. Willughby (1678) 
calls it the “‘ more-Buzzard,” and later writers up to Fleming 
(1842) call it ‘‘ Moor-Buzzard.”’ 
Moor Cock or Moor Frowit: The RED GROUSE. (Sibbald.) 
Moor-hen is also a name for the female. 
Moor Coot: The MOORHEN. (Provincial.) 
Moor Crow: The HOODED CROW. (Nidd Valley, York- 
shire.) 
Moor DortereL: The DOTTEREL. (Whitby, Yorkshire.)
