Tue Grey Plover is not a numerous species in Britain, 
and, indeed, in many parts, its appearance seems almost li- 
mited to the period of its migrations, that is, when passing 
im autumn to its winter quarters, and in spring on its return 
to the colder regions of the north. In Northumberland there 
are a few stations on the coast, where it is found during the 
whole winter, but only in families or small flocks. It gene- 
rally arrives about the middle of September (sometimes even 
earlier), at which time several of the old birds still retain a 
PQ ,
