  THE 
  ZOOLOGIST. 
  

  

  The 
  King-Ouzel 
  evidently 
  passes 
  the 
  northern 
  coast 
  on 
  migra- 
  

   tion 
  ; 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  lighthousemen 
  at 
  Point 
  Lynas 
  told 
  us 
  that 
  this 
  

   spring 
  he 
  had 
  seen 
  in 
  his 
  garden 
  " 
  a 
  Blackbird 
  with 
  a 
  broad 
  

   white 
  mark 
  on 
  its 
  breast." 
  The 
  bird, 
  he 
  said, 
  was 
  so 
  tame, 
  that 
  

   he 
  was 
  induced 
  to 
  attempt 
  to 
  catch 
  it. 
  No 
  doubt 
  many 
  migrants 
  

   touch 
  Anglesea 
  on 
  their 
  way 
  north 
  in 
  spring. 
  Mr. 
  Cummings 
  

   saw 
  Wheatears 
  here 
  on 
  the 
  17th 
  and 
  19th 
  of 
  March, 
  and 
  probably 
  

   these 
  early 
  birds 
  were 
  passing 
  further 
  north. 
  On 
  April 
  19th, 
  

   1902, 
  he 
  saw 
  a 
  male 
  Kedstart 
  at 
  Hell's 
  Mouth, 
  and 
  a 
  Whinchat 
  

   near 
  Cemmaes 
  on 
  the 
  following 
  day. 
  He 
  has 
  also 
  seen 
  White 
  

   Wagtails 
  in 
  spring 
  in 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  localities 
  — 
  on 
  the 
  west 
  coast 
  

   at 
  Rhos 
  Neigr 
  and 
  Ty 
  Croes, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  at 
  Bull 
  Bay, 
  

   where 
  on 
  April 
  17th, 
  1902, 
  when 
  in 
  company 
  with 
  Mr. 
  R. 
  New- 
  

   stead, 
  he 
  saw 
  a 
  party 
  of 
  six 
  or 
  eight 
  birds. 
  

  

  The 
  Wheatear 
  is 
  not 
  common 
  on 
  the 
  north-east 
  coast, 
  but 
  we 
  

   met 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  birds 
  between 
  Moelfre 
  and 
  Lligwy, 
  and 
  on 
  May 
  

   23rd 
  saw 
  a 
  small 
  party 
  on 
  Bodafon 
  Mountain. 
  We 
  did 
  not 
  see 
  

   any 
  between 
  Moelfre 
  and 
  Redwharf 
  Bay 
  on 
  May 
  25th, 
  nor 
  on 
  the 
  

   following 
  day 
  between 
  Dulas 
  and 
  Point 
  Lynas 
  ; 
  perhaps 
  the 
  

   species 
  had 
  suffered 
  from 
  the 
  cold 
  spring, 
  for 
  there 
  were 
  certainly 
  

   not 
  so 
  many 
  at 
  Penmon 
  as 
  there 
  were 
  in 
  1902. 
  Between 
  Cem- 
  

   llyn 
  and 
  Carmel 
  Head, 
  however, 
  the 
  birds 
  were 
  plentiful 
  in 
  the 
  

   first 
  week 
  in 
  June, 
  being 
  in 
  the 
  greatest 
  numbers 
  on 
  Carmel 
  

   Head, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  rough 
  country 
  behind. 
  By 
  the 
  12th 
  of 
  June 
  

   many 
  of 
  the 
  Wheatears 
  on 
  Newborough 
  Warren 
  had 
  young 
  on 
  

   the 
  wing. 
  

  

  When 
  walking 
  between 
  Redwharf 
  Bay 
  and 
  Moelfre 
  on 
  May 
  

   25th 
  we 
  only 
  saw 
  a 
  single 
  Rock-Pipit, 
  but 
  there 
  were 
  a 
  few 
  about 
  

   the 
  Moelfre 
  rocks, 
  and 
  on 
  Ynys 
  Moelfre. 
  North 
  of 
  Moelfre 
  we 
  

   met 
  with 
  a 
  bird 
  here 
  and 
  there 
  along 
  the 
  coast, 
  but 
  from 
  Point 
  

   Lynas 
  westward 
  the 
  species 
  is 
  more 
  abundant. 
  

  

  We 
  kept 
  a 
  sharp 
  look-out 
  for 
  the 
  Red-backed 
  Shrike, 
  but 
  only 
  

   met 
  with 
  a 
  single 
  pair 
  — 
  at 
  Porth-y-gwichiad, 
  near 
  Point 
  Lynas, 
  

   on 
  May 
  26th, 
  about 
  a 
  mile 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  place 
  where 
  Mr. 
  Cum- 
  

   mings 
  saw 
  a 
  male 
  on 
  June 
  24th, 
  1902 
  (Zool. 
  1902, 
  p. 
  434). 
  The 
  

   birds 
  were 
  frequenting 
  a 
  short 
  stretch 
  of 
  low 
  cliff 
  which 
  was 
  

   clothed 
  to 
  the 
  beach 
  with 
  thorn, 
  bramble, 
  and 
  gorse. 
  They 
  were 
  

   silent, 
  in 
  strong 
  contrast 
  with 
  the 
  noisy 
  behaviour 
  of 
  these 
  birds 
  

   when 
  they 
  have 
  young. 
  There 
  was 
  nothing 
  to 
  lead 
  us 
  to 
  suppose
