TINKLER: THE AVI-FAUNA OF ARKENGARTHDALE, ETC. 315 
Muscicapa grisola. Spotted Flycatcher. A common summer 
visitor, arriving early in May and leaving about the beginning of 
September. Found up to the very verge of the moors. 
Muscicapa atricapilla. Pied Flycatcher. A rare and very 
local summer visitor to Lower Swaledale, a few pairs nesting 
annually near Marske. I have no note of its occurrence higher 
up the valley than Reeth, near which place a male was shot 
29th April, 1858. 
Hirundo rustica. Swallow. A common summer visitor, arriving 
about the end of April and leaving in October. I often find it 
nesting in shepherds’ huts high on the moors. 3 
Chelidon urbica. House Martin. A common summer visitor 
to the valleys, arriving at the end of April. 
Cotile riparia. Sand Martin. A summer visitor, arriving about 
the end of April and leaving about the end of September. 
I only know of three colonies in Arkengarthdale, neither is it 
very abundant in Swaledale. 
Carduelis elegans. Goldfinch. Now a very scarce resident. 
ew may be found on the hill slopes near Gunnerside, and 
about Ellerton and Marske. I have never seen it in 
Arkengarthdale. 
Carduelis spinus. Siskin. An autumn and winter visitor to 
the valleys, occurring at times in large flocks. 
Ligurinus chloris. Greenfinch. A common resident in 
Swaledale, especially below Reeth. Less abundant in Arken- 
garthdale. : 
asser domesticus. House Sparrow. A very abundant 
valley resident. Occasionally I come across colonies nesting 
along with the starling and jackdaw, in crevices of the limestone 
crags, far away from any dwellings. 
Fringilla ccelebs. Chaffinch. Local names, Scobbie, Bull- 
spink. A very abundant valley resident, and found to the edge 
of the moors. a 
Fringilla montifringilla. Brambling. A rare winter visitor 
to the valleys. 
Linota cannabina. Linnet. Local name, Brownie. A resident. 
Most abundant between Keld and Low Row, and about 
Ellerton and Marske in Swaledale, and in the New Forest. 
Less numerous in Arkengarthdale, where I have only seen it in 
Eskeleth, Scar and Booze woods, and near Castle. é 
Linota linaria. Mealy Redpole. On 16th March, 1856, a pair 
were seen by the late Mr. R. Dakyn, near Hurst, and stayed in 
____ the neighbourhood several days.
