  Mr. 
  Charles 
  Dixon 
  in 
  his 
  Migration 
  of 
  British 
  Birds 
  says 
  : 
  — 
  1 
  The 
  Jay 
  has 
  ex- 
  

   tended 
  its 
  range 
  northwards 
  within 
  a 
  comparatively 
  recent 
  time, 
  and 
  now 
  breeds 
  at 
  

   least 
  as 
  far 
  north 
  as 
  Inverness.' 
  So 
  far 
  he 
  is 
  probably 
  correct, 
  but 
  Inverness-Mire 
  is 
  

   a 
  large 
  county, 
  and 
  embraces 
  both 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  watershed. 
  As 
  we 
  have 
  indicated 
  

   in 
  the 
  text, 
  we 
  are 
  not 
  aware 
  of 
  its 
  having 
  established 
  itself 
  anywhere 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  

   Grampian 
  Mountains.

  Probably 
  breeds, 
  but 
  its 
  favourite 
  food— 
  minnows 
  — 
  are 
  somewhat 
  scarce 
  any- 
  

   where 
  in 
  the 
  area, 
  and 
  entirely 
  absent 
  in 
  streams 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  Caledonian 
  Canal 
  

   and 
  Inverness.
