. An illustrated manual of British birds. Birds. CHARADRIID^. 589 -^'^..^'J'. TEMMINCK'S STINT. Tringa TEMMfNCKi, Leisler. Though less rare on migration than was formerly supposed, this species is more irregular than the Little Stint in its visits to Great Britain, notwithstanding that the western limit of its breeding- grounds are at no great distance from our northern shores. There are, however, only two or three trustworthy records of its occurrence in the east of Scotland (Aberdeenshire); while merely a few examples, at long intervals, have been obtained on the east coast of England between Northumberland and the south of Lincolnshire, in autumn. In Norfolk a good many have been met with at that season —one as late as November 23rd—while about ten have been procured on the return passage in May. Southward this species can be traced along the rest of the eastern sea-board, and on the Channel to Corn- wall and the Scilly Islands ; it has also been found inland, as at Kingsbury Reservoir in Middlesex, Foulmire in Cambridgeshire, Mansfield Reservoir in Nottinghamshire, Ribbleton Moor in Lanca- shire &c. On the west side it is very rare, and since 1832 only six examples have been authenticated between the Solway district and the estuary of the Dee, while there is no record from Pembrokeshire. According to Thompson a specimen was procured near Tralee in.
