a3 Cordeaux: Bird-Notes from the Humber District. 
Hydrochelidon nigra (L.). Black Tern. 5th September. E. 
Seen on coast. This Tern is a regular autumn migrant, 
although it can hardly be considered common. 
Sylvia nisoria (Bechstein). Barred Warbler. 5th Sept. E. 
since morning of 4th. Mr. Haigh shot an immature female 
close to the coast, amongst some brambles, at North 
Cotes. This makes the fifth example in fifteen years in 
the Humber district, namely, four in Eastern Yorkshire 
and one now in Lincolnshire. 
Phalaropus hyperboreus (L.). Red-necked Phalarope. 7th 
Sept. One was shot by Mr. Haigh in a creek at Tetney. 
Turtur communis Selby. Turtle Dove. This is now quite 
an established species in North Lincolnshire. On 7th Sept. 
about a score were left in the sea plantation at Tetney. 
Throughout September the weather continued remarkably 
still and fine—quite a second summer. The smaller immigrants 
came in continually in small numbers. The various movements 
are best shown by the following notes from Mr. Haigh’s diary.
