  To-day 
  there 
  was 
  another 
  migration, 
  

   after 
  a 
  rather 
  strong 
  wind 
  last 
  night 
  from 
  the 
  north-west. 
  

   Straggling 
  flocks 
  of 
  Books 
  were 
  arriving 
  all 
  day 
  long, 
  from 
  7 
  a.m. 
  

   to 
  5 
  p.m., 
  if 
  not 
  later, 
  at 
  short 
  intervals, 
  striking 
  the 
  coast, 
  for 
  

   the 
  most 
  part 
  flying 
  low 
  with 
  a 
  slow 
  wavering 
  flight 
  as 
  if 
  tired. 
  

   Every 
  flock 
  passed 
  inland 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  eye 
  could 
  follow 
  them, 
  

   coming 
  from 
  N.E., 
  and 
  heading 
  straight 
  against 
  the 
  wind, 
  which 
  

   blew 
  from 
  S.S.W. 
  With 
  them 
  I 
  could 
  see 
  Jackdaws 
  and 
  a 
  few 
  

   Grey 
  Crows, 
  and 
  occasional 
  flocks 
  of 
  Starlings, 
  and 
  there 
  may
