Apr. 25, at Chirnside, Dr 

 Stuart. 



May 22, a pair seen in 

 garden. 



Apr. 1, at Berwick, 

 numerous on Cheviot 

 on 9th. 



Oct. 12, 1884, numerous 

 Berwick, and at Goswick 

 on 15th in flocks. 



Oct. 24, 1884, large flocks 

 at Carham. On Nov. 14, 

 saw several small flocks 

 coming up over Berwick 

 in early morning as tho' 

 from sea — probably just 

 landing. 



With Fieldfares at Car- 

 ham on Oct. 24. 



May 11, abundant in 

 hedges, Berwick, &c. 

 Very numerous at Holy 

 Island on I2th with other 

 migrants. One in gar- 

 den, Berwick, on 22nd 

 (do not breed there). 



Apr. 25, in full song ; 



Apr. 30, one in garden. 

 May 12, a good many on 

 Holy Island, evidently 

 just arrived, as they are 

 very shy and seem tired 

 and unwilling to fly, but 

 seek shelter by hiding in 

 the hedges, amongst 

 tranches — a rather un- 

 usual habit. 



In garden, Berwick', from 

 Aug. 27 to Sept. 17, on 

 and about which latter 

 date they were in some 

 numbers in company with 

 other Warblers and Fly- 

 catchers. 



Probably along with Black- 

 cap at above dates, but 

 from similarity of plum- 

 age not recognised. 



Sept. 17, three or four be- 

 hind pier, probably re- 

 mained some time after 

 this, as it is not late for 

 them. 



Apr. 15, 1884, very numer- 

 ous at Ross Links, Holy 

 Island. On 20th they had 

 all but vanished, only one 

 or two single birds re- 

 maining, and none seen 

 a week later. 



Apr. 11, seen near Chis- 

 wick. 



Sept. 17, thought I recog- 

 nised one in garden with 

 other Warblers, but it 

 looked a larger and paler 

 coloured bird. 



Middle of Sept. in garden, 

 Berwick, I7th, &c. 



Several in garden with 

 other migrants, Sept. 17, 

 18, &c. I killed a young 

 specimen there on 20th, 

 this was the last seen. 



Sept. 17, 2 seen in garden, 

 Berwick.
