Warblers (especially of the genus Pliylloscopus ), Whinchats, 
Hirundines, and Wagtails passing in large numbers. 
(2) The departure of wintering birds to the north in early 
spring. The Chiffchaff and Rook maybe taken as examples. 
There is also a withdrawal of Geese, Ducks, wintering 
Thrushes and Finches. It would appear that—in the case of 
the Chiffchaff at least—this movement was completed before 
birds of the same species arrived in the country as spring 
migrants from the south.

winter, e. g., Siskin, Serin, other Finches, Meadow Pipit, 
Woodlark, Skylark, Goldcrest, Great Grey Shrike, Robin, 
Merlin, Sparrow-Hawk, Ducks, Geese, Rooks, and Wood¬ 
cock. The movements of the Brambling and Fieldfare were 
very spasmodic.
