SUMMARY OF THE RECORDS. 



THE SONG-THRUSH {Turdus musicus) . 



During January a few Song-Thrushes were noticed at some of the 

 Welsh lights in the middle, and again towards the end of the month, 

 whilst some few birds were observed at Spurn Head Light (Yorkshire) 

 on the 12th/13th and at Hanois Light (Channel Islands) on the 

 28th/29th. At Cambridge a small flock of birds was noticed at intervals 

 between the 20th of January and the 9th of March. Luring February 

 migration was more active, especially towards the middle of the month. 

 On the east coast a few migrants were reported from Winterton Light 

 (Norfolk) on the 3rd/4th, from Lynn Well Light-vessel (Norfolk) on the 

 9th/10th and 10th/l 1th, and from Spurn Head Light on the latter date. 

 In the west small movements were noticed off the Lancashire and 

 Carnarvonshire coasts on almost every night between the 9th and 14th, 

 and there was an influx at North Light, Lundy Island (North Devon) on 

 the 13th/14th. After this, apparently owing to the age of the moon, there 

 was an entire absence of records till the end of the month, when migration 

 was again noticed on the Welsh coast, considerable numbers being seen 

 at Bardsey Light (Carnarvonshire) on the 2Cth/27th and 27th/28th. 

 Between the 4th and 15th of February movements were reported from 

 many of the southern lights, but except on the nights of the 5th/6th, when 

 large numbers were observed at the Eddystone Light (Cornwall) and St. 

 Catherine's Light (Hampshire) and again on the ]2th/13th at the 

 Eddystone, the numbers concerned appear to have been small. 



During the early part of March a few Song-Thrushes were seen at 

 Spurn Head and Cromer (Norfolk) Lights and at the Kentish Knock 

 Light-vessel (Essex), but after that time no migration was noted on 

 the east coast until the 27th/28th ; when there was an influx at the 

 Longsand Light-vessel. On the west coast the only records received 

 during March were of a few birds seen at Bardsey Light on the 6th/7th 

 and 7th/8th, and at the Skerries Light (Anglesey) on the 13th/14th and
