villas and cottages. Here and there I saw Red-backed Shrikes ; 

 there was one in the little isolated plantation on Saltholm. Swifts 

 and House-Martins inhabit the towns. 



The Stork is a familiar and favourite bird in Denmark ; I 

 once saw from the train a considerable flock in a meadow, and 

 observed the great nests in various places on farm-buildings and 

 houses in villages, principally in Jutland. Besides the above- 

 mentioned colony of Herons, single birds were seen occasionally 

 along streams and firths. 



The only Golden Plover I have seen in Denmark was in full 

 nuptial plumage in a field on Amager on June 5th, 1909 ; the 

 species breeds sparingly on the heaths. 



The following is a list of species observed by me in Denmark, 

 with their Danish names. It is probably somewhat incomplete, 

 as, having no intention of publishing, I did not always at the 

 time make a note of the commoner birds observed, and now find 

 no record, for instance, of Accipiter nisus, Regains cristatns, some 

 of the commoner Tits, and Gallinula chloropus, which must 

 almost certainly have been seen : —
