MIGRATION AND OTHER ORNITHOLOGICAL 
NOTES FROM LOWESTOFT AND DISTRICT, 
JUNE 30th, 1911. TO JUNE 30th, 1912. 
By Claud B. Ticehurst, M.A., M.R.C.S., M.B.O.U. 
MlSTLE Thrush (T. viscivorus ). — A movement was noticed 
on September 17th and the 27th; and on October 26th flocks 
were noted coasting southwards. 
Song Thrush ( T . musicus ). — A movement at Yarmouth 
was noted on September 25th — 26th. A bird of the Continental 
race (T. musicus musicus) was picked up on the tide mark on 
October 17th, and on that night there was again a movement 
noted at Yarmouth. Immigration of this species are not always 
easy to detect on account of the numbers of local birds. 
REDWING ( T . iliacus ). — Numbers were heard passing over 
on the nights of October 12th to 15th ; and on the former date 
one was seen coming in from the east at Southwold, and on the 
17th two were found on the tide mark here. Migrants were 
passing over to the south on the 17th and 18th. A good many 
seen on November 1st in coastal hedges were thought to be 
freshly arrived, and migrants were again heard going over on 
the nights of the 16th and 24th. On January 18th and 
February 2nd, during the cold ‘ snaps,” flocks were noted 
going south. On February 29th and March 19th flocks were 
passing at night. 
Fieldfare (T . pilaris ). — On the actual coast the migrations 
of this species appear often to escape notice, and on arrival the 
flocks are usually seen in the marshes inland, where they had 
arrived by November 1st. On the 11th, flocks were observed 
arriving from the east at Yarmouth, and on the next day one 
was seen coming in from the east at Southwold.
