Bird Notes from the Huddersfield District. — The 



recent severe weather brought some unusual bird visitors to 

 the Huddersfield district. Some passed on, their identity 

 only guessed at, but others have fallen to local gunners, and 

 can be authenticated, having been preserved and stuffed by 

 Mr. Alfred Kaye of Lindley. Among those I have seen are a 

 common Scoter duck and a black-throated diver from Thorpes 

 Reservoir, Slaithwaite. The former is an occasional winter 

 straggler into the district, and the latter is recorded for Hudders- 

 field in the ' Birds of Yorkshire ' on the authority of Eddison, 

 but this is regarded as a doubtful record in Mosley's ' Birds of 

 Huddersfield.' In February, some young common gulls 

 (Laris canis) were shot near Elland, and towards the end of 

 last year, a little grebe (Podiceps jluviatilis), an almost extinct 

 native of the district, while resting on the ground some distance 

 from water, was seized by a dog at Mapplin Lees, Marsh. — Wm. 

 Falconer, Slaithwaite, February 27th, 1917.
