fleeting visitors, or whether occasionally a few may temporarily
sojourn the winter through ; (5) Dates of arrival or probable
exodus, both autumn and spring; (6) Sex and condition of
feathering ; (7) Habits generally ; (8) Is there anything like
annual regularity in their migration around or across Essex ?
Other notes might be added ; suffice here to refer to what may be
deemed sequel to Brit. Assoc. Comm. Reports. This to wit,
Bulletins of Brit. Ornith. Club, Vols. xvii. and xx., 1906, 1907.
Hints might be derived from sketch maps, lists and tabular
summaries contained therein.
In the foregoing notice, although unfortunately to my regret,
I have not been enabled to add much new information ; at all
events, what I have brought together may stimulate to keener
observation our numerous shore sportsmen, and those interested
in the avifauna frequenting the many saltings, marshes, and
sandy coves of maritime Essex.
