CORDEAUX : BIRD-NOTES FROM THE HUMBER DISTRICT. 41 
sia eigen ol aarp (L.). Willow Warbler. November 
7t ched one to-day with the glass foraging amongst 
some aiiiae’ in one of the coastguard gardens near Lloyds’ 
signal station. It is an unusually late occurrence, but it was 
an unmistakeable Willow Wren. 
Anthus obscurus (Latham). Rock Pipit. Very plentiful, 
and in pairs, on both sides of the headland. These, I satisfied 
myself, are the English race, resident here throughout the year, 
and not the Scandinavian form so frequently obtained on the 
coast further south in the autumn. 
Pratincola rubicola (L.). Stonechat. Several seen, chiefly 
on the coast below the south cliff. 
Procellaria pelagica (L.). Storm Petrel. November 27th. 
I picked up a wave-cast Petrel on the south shore at 
Flamborough. 
Tringa canutus (L.). Knot. November 23rd. One, which 
I got in the flesh, was shot to-day near the south landing-place at 
Flamborough. It was a very interesting example, as it still 
retained much of its breeding dress, the upper parts blackish, the 
edges of its feathers marked with grey, and the under parts 
a faded chestnut. The skin I sent to Professor Newton, of 
Cambridge. 
Phalacrocorax graculus (L.). Shag. November 22nd. 
One was killed at Kilnsea with a stick by a woman. It had 
a large eel in its mouth, partly swallowed. 
Mergulus alle (L.). Little Auk. During the gales in the 
atter part of November three were picked up inland at 
Flamborough, and several also were seen close in-shore. 
Columba livia and C. enas. Rock Dove and Stock Dove. 
I noticed several flocks of both in fields at Flamborough feeding 
on young clovers. In the great gale, on 18th and roth, great 
numbers were blown across the headland to the south side, and 
being unable to face the storm and get down to their cotes in 
the caves in the north cliffs, many perished. One man told me 
he had picked up thirteen. 
Otocorys alpestris (L.). Shore Lark. November 28th. 
A flock was reported to have been seen this morning in 
a stubble at the edge of the cliff on the south side of the 
headland. The person who saw them had shot several in the 
same locality in 1892.
