April 28th^ Cambridge and Notts on May 1st, and 

 Lincoln on May 2nd. A good many of the birds appear, 

 however, to have stayed in the south, increases being 

 reported from several of the southern counties from 

 April 30th onwards, and these birds probably formed a 

 further portion of the southern breeding-stock. The birds 

 composing the western wing, which was reported from 

 Somerset on April 26th, appear to have stayed for the 

 most part in the south-western counties, but a certain 

 number passed northward into Monmouth on April 27th, 

 Cheshire on April 28th, and Westmoreland on April 29th, 

 while additional birds were recorded from Merioneth on 

 the 29th, Lancashire and west Yorkshire on the oOth, 

 and the Isle of Man was reached on May 1st. 



On May 1st and 2nd there were arrivals in Devon, 

 which may be treated as part of this third immigration, 

 and a good many of these birds appear to have passed up 

 into the Isle of Man on May 4th and into Lancashire on 

 May 5th. 



The fourth immigration was noticed on the coasts of 

 Kent and Sussex on May 7th and 8th, but the course of 

 these immigrants is not traceable from the records.
