its spring and autumnal migrations. Temminck's 

 stint, the purple sandpiper, and the dunlin are 

 all common in the summer. But neither Sching's 

 sandpiper, the broad-billed sandpiper, the pigmy 

 curlew, or the sanderling have been noticed here 

 at any season. Although Sommerfeet feels certain 

 that both the pigmy curlew and the broad-billed 

 sandpiper breed here. 



The ruff is a common summer visitant. 



The common sandpiper, the redshank, the 

 dusky-redshank, the greenshank, and the wood 

 sandpiper, are all summer migrants to this 

 district. 



The common godwit and the bar-tailed god- 

 wit, are both summer visitants. Sommerfeet has, 

 however, never seen the egg of the latter taken 

 here, although it breeds near Enara. 



Both the common and the jack snipe are met 

 with here in the summer. 



The red-breasted phalarope breeds here. But 

 not the grey phalarope, although the latter has 

 been shot here in the end of August in full summer 

 dress, and also in October in pure winter 

 plumage. 



Two specimens of the coot were shot on Vardo
