Cordeaux: Bird-notes from the Humber District. 23 
PhyHoscopus sibilatrix (Bechstein). Wood-Warbler. August 
28 Occasionally seen here in spring and autumn on 
migration, but rare at any other time. To-day I saw the 
Wood-Warbler, Willow-Wren, Coal-Tit, and Marsh-Tit 
in the garden, and on the same bush. 
Cypselus apus(L.). Swift. August 29th. A flight over the house, 
N. ., at 6 p.m. The rays of the western sun, catching 
the under side of their wings, made them gleam like satin. 
On September 3rd continuous flights were passing along the 
coast at the Spurn, but only a few on the 4th. Mr. Haigh 
saw hundreds along the Lincolnshire coast, between Tetney 
and North Cotes, on the 1st of September, and between 
Grainthorpe and Donna Nook thousands on the 2nd ; only 
one on the 3rd. All these were moving from N. to S. It 
will be seen that it was on this day the largest migration 
was visible on the coast of Holderness. These probably 
passed some distances at sea, so as to be invisible from the 
Lincolnshire coast. 
Muscicapa atricapilla Linn. Pied Flycatcher. Aug. 27th. 
Mr. Haigh saw two or three immature Pied Flycatchers 
to-day with Redstarts and Whitethroats in the coast hedges, 
and along the sea embankment scores of Pied Wagtails and 
a few Yellow-Wagtails and Wheatears. And on Sept. rst 
at Tetney and North Cotes, besides the Swifts, many 
Sedge Warblers in standing corn, also Yellow-Wagtails 
and Whinchats. On 2nd, Cuckoo and a Corncrake. On 
Sept. 18th Mr. Alfred Fieldsend of Lincoln sent an immature 
male Pied Flycatcher, caught on board a Bieta in 150 miles 
from land, along with a Wheatear. 
Saxicola cenanthe Linn. Wheatear. September, first week, 
numerous on passage near the coast, particularly at the 
Spurn on the 3rd, less on the 4th; on the former day 
plentifully distributed on the drain banks in Great Cotes 
Marshes. On this day also I noticed several of the large 
tree-perching race. 
Mareca penelope (L.). Wigeon. September 2nd. First 
arrivals on the coast. ; 
Ardea cinerea Linn. Common Heron. September 2nd. _ 
Mr. Haigh saw a flock of about thirty on the coast between — 
Donna Nook and Grainthorpe. 
Motacilla melanope Pallas. Grey Wagtail. I have not 
seen these since the one of May. On i vee as 8th a Vax
