BRITISH WARBLERS 



Hebrides and the Island of Jura. On the East Coast it breeds 

 as far north as Inverness, and on migration is found regularly 

 in the Orkney, Shetland and Faroe Islands. To Ireland it is 

 a local summer visitor, rare in many counties, but breeding 

 regularly in Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare, and Queen's County. 



Its occurrence in the Channel Islands except Guernsey 

 seems doubtful. 



In the Cape Verd Islands, Canary Islands, Madeira, 

 Azores, and the countries bordering the Western Mediter- 

 ranean it is a common resident species. 



Over Central Europe and Southern Scandinavia it is 

 generally distributed and common as a breeding species, and 

 we find it occurring regularly, though in gradually lessening 

 numbers, as far as 66° N. Lat. Eecords have been obtained 

 as far north as the Lyngen Fiord. Proceeding eastward from 

 here we find it somewhat scarce in Finland, occurring princi- 

 pally in the vicinity of Helsingfors, Uskela, Kuopio, and as 

 far north as Uleaborg. In the Province of Olonetz it has 

 been recorded near Petrozavodsk, Witegra and Kargopol, and 

 on the River Dwina as far as 62° N. Lat. It also visits the 

 Province of Viatka, and appears to be much rarer on the 

 eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains than on the western. 



In Southern Europe it is found throughout Italy and the 

 Islands of Corsica and Sardinia, but in Greece it is rare as 

 a breeding species, though common during the winter, and 

 occurs on migration in Crete. In Montenegro and Turkey 

 the bird is not plentiful as a breeding species, but passes 

 through the latter country on migration. To the South- 

 western Provinces of Russia and throughout the Caucasus 

 it is a frequent visitor, but it is doubtful whether it breeds 

 in the Crimea, although it occurs on migration. In Trans- 

 Caucasia it is by no means uncommon, being found from 

 Abkhasia in the west to Lenkoran in the east, -and on 

 migration it visits the Caspian Steppes. In parts of Asia 

 Minor and Persia, as far east as Teheran, it appears to be 

 a resident species.
