all day at the Isle of Maj', and small numbers were again noted on tlie 

 south coast of Yorkshire, where an immigration of considerable numbers 

 also occurred on the following d&y. Many of these birds immediately 

 passed on to the south, and all had gone by the 12th. A week later, 

 between the 17th and 19th, an immigration of very large dimensions 

 occurred, vast numbers being recorded from the Flannan Isles (Outer 

 Hebrides), Fair Isle, Tarbatness (Moray Firth), the Isle of May and the 

 south coast of Yorkshire. On the 22nd small flocks travelling west were 

 seen in Suffolk, and on the 23rd the first Redwings arrived in Mull, being 

 reported also on the same night from Skerryvore (Inner Hebrides). On 

 the 26th a further large immigration, which passed on during that night, 

 occurred on the south coast of Yorkshire, and on the same day a small 

 flock was observed flying south-west in Kent. Migrating parties were 

 heard passing in Hertfordshire each evening from the 29th to the 31st, 

 large numbers were present on Lundy Island (N. Devon) from the 28th 

 to the 31st, and on the latter date many had arrived in Staffordshire. 



During the first five days of November considerable movements were 

 again in progress not only on the east coast, but on the west as well. 

 Large numbers were seen passing every day on the south coast of 

 Yorkshire, many being also recorded from Whitby Light on the 1st and 

 from Spurn Head Light on the night of the 4th ; on the 1st also a flock 

 of five or six hundred was seen flying south-west (in company with 

 Fieldfares) in south Yorkshire and numbers were seen flying south-west 

 in Kent, while on the 5th Redwings were aniving off the sea on the 

 Norfolk coast in a continuous stream up to 8.15 a.m. 



From the 1st to the 6th thousands of Redwings were seen (presumably 

 passing), during sleet and snow, in west Ross-shire; between the same 

 dates they were noticed passing over Staflbrdshire in large numbers, while 

 many were reported from Bardsey Light (Carnarvon) and Bishop Rock 

 Light (Isles of Scilly) on the 4th/5th and thousands from the former 

 light on the following night. On the 13th several flocks were again seen 

 arriving from the north in Staffordshire and at night numbers occurred 

 at Bardsey Light. 



Movements either of a westward coasting or a direct emigratory 

 character were recorded from several of the south coast lights during 

 November, small numbers being noted at St. Catherine's Light (Isle of 

 Wight) on the 3rd/4th, at the Eddystone Light (Cornwall) on the 6th/7th, 

 large numbers (apparently coming from the east) at; Dungeness (Kent) 

 and at St. Catherine's Light on the 14th/15th, and small numbers again 

 at St. Catherine's and the Eddystone on the 15th/16th, and at the 

 latter light on the 19th/20th. 



A few birds also occurred at Hanois Light (Guernsey) on November 

 the 16th/17th and 19th/20th. 



In December dozens were reported at St. Catherine's Light and large 

 numbers at Bardsey Light on the llth/12th, while at the Eddystone 

 Light a few were noticed on the 13th/14th, and large numbers on the
