Turning northwards, it is decidedly rare along the westside of England and Scotland, while as yet unrecorded from theOuter Hebrides ; it has, however, been taken in the Orkneys andShetlands. In Ireland only five or six birds have been recognized—at long intervals—on the eastern and southern coasts. This Grebe is resident in the southern districts of Norway ; andit breeds abundantly on some of the waters of Denmark andNorthern Germany, whence, however, it migrates in autumn andvisits our eastern shores. It is also plentiful throughout the Baltic,and as far north as the reedy lakes at the head of the Gulf
