  Blackeird 
  (Turdus 
  merula). 
  — 
  Not 
  so 
  plentiful 
  as 
  usual; 
  four 
  birds 
  

   hatched 
  May 
  10th. 
  

  

  Cuckoo 
  (Cuculus 
  canoms). 
  — 
  Heard 
  at 
  Baltasound,

  Aberdeen 
  : 
  Migration 
  Notes 
  for 
  April. 
  — 
  Wheatears 
  (Saxicola 
  

   cmanthe) 
  were 
  seen 
  on 
  April 
  8th 
  ; 
  numerous 
  Biug-Ouzels 
  (Turdus 
  

   torquatus) 
  on 
  April 
  loth. 
  The 
  Dunlin 
  (THnga 
  alpina) 
  I 
  heard 
  on 
  the 
  

   evening 
  of 
  April 
  29th. 
  A 
  point 
  worth 
  noting 
  is 
  that 
  one 
  of 
  these 
  

   birds 
  has 
  appeared 
  at 
  my 
  mill-dam, 
  and 
  very 
  tame. 
  Would 
  this 
  be 
  

   the 
  bird 
  which 
  took 
  to 
  the 
  surroundings 
  of 
  the 
  farm-steading 
  last 
  year 
  

   before 
  they 
  departed 
  ? 
  I 
  fancy 
  so, 
  as 
  it 
  frequents 
  the 
  same 
  places, 
  but 
  

   I 
  had 
  not 
  marked 
  it.
