1921.] Birds of Macedonia. 
Anthus trivialis. Tree-Pipit. 
Aracli, 6 April. 
Anthus pratensis. Meadow-Pipit. 
Struma plain in winter. When the snow fell these 
Pipits came to our tents for food, mixing with the White 
Wagtails and Crested Larks. 
Sitta europaea. Nuthatch. 
Common on the hills, hut local in distribution. In spring 
at Aracli. Particularly plentiful in small woods near 
Lahana in October. 
Regulus regulus. Goldcrest. 
Some on the hills in October. One at Gumisdere, 
7 November ; another at Kopriva, 24 December. 
Parus major. Great Titmouse. 
The commonest Titmouse. Found on the hills wherever 
there is a trace of cultivation, and often in the scrub in quite 
desolate places. Most frequent from October to January, 
but numerous in April. 
Parus caeruleus. Blue Titmouse. 
Practically as P. major , but not so common. 
Parus lugubris. Sombre Titmouse. 
Two records. A pair haunted some pear-trees on which 
the fruit was rotten, in October and November at Paprat. 
Another pair at Aracli in April. 
JEgithalus caudatus. Long-tailed Titmouse. 
A few r on the hills in autumn. Common in April and 
May. 
Lanius excubitor. Great Grey Shrike. 
Seen near the Struma in winter, especially in January. 
I remember one bird of a pair keeping in front of my horse 
for more than a mile, darting from its perch and skimming 
low over the ground, a short distance ahead, and then sud¬ 
denly rising and perching on the top of a bush again.
