Wigeon (Mareca penelope). — Not common, as there is poor 

 feeding ground here. 



Tufted Duck (Fuligula cristata). — Fairly common in winter. 



Golden-eye (Clangula glaucion). — Fairly common at the 

 " Long Leg." 



Common Scoter (CEdemia nigra). — Little parties may be seen 

 every day swimming at some distance from the shore ; once only 

 did I see one on the rocks. 



I am by no means satisfied with this list. I hoped to have 

 added before this a good many other birds, some of which have 

 been reported to me, but I have only set down those which I have 

 myself identified. 



Oct. 10th, 1904. — I witnessed a most remarkable fight between 

 a female Sparrow-Hawk and a Kestrel. I saw them engage in 

 mortal combat about fifty feet over the shore, and then they fell 

 together, the Kestrel screaming loudly. I hurried to the spot, 

 and got quite close before the Sparrow-Hawk let go her hold and 

 rose into the air, and the Kestrel, which seemed in great terror, 

 got away. I feel sure that but for my arrival it would have 

 been killed.
