have passed on in a north-westerly direction, as an increase 

 was noted in Cardigan, Glnmorgan, Herelbrd, Lancashire, 

 and Yorkshire. This was apparently the most numerous 

 immigration of this species. 



On the 7th and 8th of May another immigratory wave of 

 Bedstarts was reported from the Hants lights, in company 

 with large flights of seven other species. It is possible 

 that further " waves " may have reached this country, as the 

 numbers from the midland and western counties continued 

 to fluctuate during the next ten days, but as no birds were 

 recorded from the coast, no definite movements could be 

 traced. 



Nesting began on the 9th of May and became general 

 during the following week, the first eggs being recorded on 

 the 11th.
