Scottish Natural History NO. 77] 1911 [JANUARY BIRD NOTES FROM THE ISLE OF MAY —AUTUMN 1910. By EVELYN V. BAXTER and LEONORA JEFFREY RINTOUL. WE again visited the Isle of May this autumn and worked there from the 2nd September till the iSth October. During this time we were able to record 99 species, three of which were new to Forth, and after we left two other Forth novelties were sent off to us. With its usual sweet reasonableness the wind, after having been in the east almost all summer, veered round and blew off the west for all but the last few days of our visit. Occasionally there were easterly airs below, but the upper currents were still off the west ; the weather throughout was very fine and mild. These conditions militated against rushes of migrants, and it was not till the last few days of our stay, when an honest east wind set in, that any great numbers of birds appeared. It being impossible, in the space at our disposal, to enter into detailed accounts of the movements of each species, we pro- pose to deal briefly with some of our more outstanding records. Among the Turdinas, Missel Thrushes ( Turdus viscivorus) appeared more plentifully than in other seasons, though never in any great numbers, and there were Song Thrushes (Turdus philoinelos1} on the island almost every day. 1 The nomenclature adopted is mainly that of Dr. Hartert's " Die Vogel der palaarktischen ; 77 B r\.
