GARDEN LISTS OF BIRDS. 419 



Notes. — Besides the Birds on the above list, escaped Parrots 

 of two species visited the garden without being secured ; and a 

 wandering Peacock spent several days with us, and then left 

 again. 



Black Redstart. — Only one example seen at the beginning 

 of March ; this proved a young male of the preceding year, and 

 was in the Ruticilla cairii plumage. 



Hawfinch. — A winter visitor, frequenting the gardens until 

 April, and then departing just when we were hoping they would 

 nest. 



Siskin. — A cage containing two tame Siskins was hanging 

 near an open window, when one day a small flock of wild ones 

 visited them, several coming into the room, the rest remaining on 

 an acacia just outside. 



Although the Cirl Bunting was not uncommon in the district, 

 and was several times noted just outside my bounds, I was never 

 able to include it in my garden list. 



List No. II. — St. Lawrence, Pembrokeshire. 



Birds observed at Stone Hall, in the parish of St. Lawrence, 

 Pembrokeshire, between 1880 and 1888. 



Here the elevation was about 250 feet; the gardens and 

 shrubberies extended to about twelve acres, with small woods 

 adjoining. In the garden was a small stream and an old fish- 

 pond ; below the house, a quarter of a mile distant, ran a good 

 Trout stream. The sea, at St. Bride's Bay, was five miles to the 

 west; the general character of the surrounding country was 

 moory, with patches of meadow and arable land.
