THE WHITE WAGTAIL. 



Motacilla alha L. 



Owing no doubt to its resemblance to the Pied Wagtail, tlie 

 records of this species are somewhat scanty. It was first 

 observed in Kent on the 3rd and 4th o£ A])ril, and between 

 the Gth and 15th it was recorded from Devon, Glamorgan, 

 Montgomery and Lancashire. 



On the 18th a large flock was seen in Glamorgan ; during 

 the following week the species was noticed daily in Cornwall, 

 and by the 21st it had reached Cumberland and the Isle of 

 Man. 



During the rest of the season the records, which, with two 

 exceptions (Norfolk, 3rd of May; Kent, 4th of May), were all 

 from the west, were insufficient to enable any dehnite move- 

 ments to be traced.
