A few fresh arrivals were noted in Cornwall on the 2nd 

 of May, and an increase in Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, 

 "Wiltshire, Hertfordshire and Essex on bth of May. A 

 further increase in Cornwall, Devon, Hampshire and Essex 

 denoted a fresh immigration of some importance along the 

 whole of the southern and south-eastern seaboard between 

 the 5th and 9th of Maj. By the latter date some pairs had 

 already begun to nest. 



Another considerable immigration was recorded on the 

 nights of the 11th to the 14th of May at St. Catherine's light, 

 and examples seen at the Kentish Knock lightship on the 

 15th showed that a fourth important wave of immigration 

 took place on those dates. 



No important immigration appears to have taken place 

 after the 15th of May, and by the 19th all the Sedge- Warblers 

 throughout the country had settled down and commenced 

 nesting in their usual haunts. A nest with eggs was found 

 in Cambridgeshire on the 20th of May and a second in 

 Radnor on the 27th.
