ORNITHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS IN SURREY. 101 



June. 



1st. — Twelve Pintails hatched on Enton Mill Pond — parents 

 pinioned (G. D.). I found Little Grebes, Snipe, and Teal all 

 breeding in several places in South-western Surrey about this 

 date, but for obvious reasons it is better not to mention exact 

 localities. 



2nd. — Immature Greater Black-backed Gull, female Tufted 

 and Red-legged Partridges at Frensham Little Pond. 



3rd. — Kingfisher and Heron at pond on Puttenham Common. 



4th. — Linnet's nest with six eggs in ling about a foot from 

 ground on Walton Heath (C. H. B.). 



5th. — Kingfisher on Frensham Little Pond. 



10th. — Drake Teal and brood of four Crested Grebes (three of 

 which afterwards perished) on Penn Ponds. Nightjar " churr- 

 ing " at 6.40 p.m. 



11th. — Sky-Lark perched and singing on top of hawthorn 

 (G. D.). 



16th. — Dartford Warbler seen by Mr. Dalgliesh. 



17th. — Garden-Warbler and Sparrow-Hawk near Elstead. 



18th. — Nest of Great Spotted Woodpecker with young in 

 Godalming district (G. D.). 



22nd. — Mr. Harold Kussell informs me that Little Grebes are 

 to be seen regularly in winter on ponds in the Tillingbourne 

 Valley, and that there is always a pair nesting near Hascombe ; 

 that, although Grasshopper-Warblers are usually noticed on 

 migration at Shere Heath, none have been observed this year ; 

 and that Stock-Doves are very rare, although a pair probably 

 nested in Albury Park last summer. 



24th. — Wood-Lark in Richmond Park ; I heard this bird 

 singing in the evening of the previous day, and, looking again 

 the next morning, was lucky enough to obtain a good view.

17th. — Heron at Godstone Pond, and four Goldfinches at
