“On Sunday, 14th Asirigk at noon, I saw the first Rooks, 
about thirty, but no more till 12th October, when the immigra- 
tion commenced and continued till the end of the first week in 
December. The first Goldcrests came on 21st October, and 
they continued for at least five weeks, but in a straggling 
manner. At the same time, I have never seen so many since 
I left the Farne Islands. On 25th and 26th October there was 
a flight of Golden Plover. Redwings and Fieldfare on two 
nights, but not in any quantity; still, more than for the last
