Mistle-Thrush (Turdus viscivorus).—One seen on a field near the farm.
Song-Thrush (T. musicus).—One or two in the Glen.
Blackbird (T. merula).—Saw a number. In a gooseberry-bush outside the cottage where we lived was a nest with eggs.
Wheatear (Saxicola œnanthe).—A few noted.
Stonechat (Pratincola rubicola).—Pretty common, as on the main island.
Whinchat (P. rubetra).—We saw two; one in the Gren, one near our cottage. The species has only once before been recorded in Man.
Robin (Erithacus rubecula).—One seen in enclosures near the mouth of the Glen.
Whitethroat (Sylvia cinerea).—A good many, especially in the Glen and about the cottage, with its adjacent bushes, where one was heard singing.
Garden Warbler (S. hortensis).—We saw one bird of this species among bushes in the Glen. The status of the Garden Warbler as a Manx bird is very uncertain.
Willow-Wren (Phylloscopus trochilus).—A few, very wild. (Some of these might possibly be Chiffchaffs, but the latter appear to be rare or local in Man, whilst P. trochilus is common and abundant.)
Hedge-Sparrow (Accentor modularis).—A pair frequented the neighbourhood of our cottage, and had young already on the wing.
Meadow-Pipit (Anthus pratensis).—Common.
Rock-Pipit (A. obscurus).—Common. A nest with eggs concealed behind a tuft of sea-spleenwort in a cavernous situation near the sea.
Spotted Flycatcher (Muscicapa grisola).—We observed one or two in the Glen, and one frequented the bushes round the cottage. It has seldom been noticed in Man.
Swallow (Hirundo rustica).—A few flying about near the Glen, in the sunniest part of the islet.
Sand-Martin (Cotile riparia).—One seen.
Greenfinch (Ligurnis chloris).—At the house of Lloyds' signalman (one of the disused lighthouses) was a specimen which had been caught on the Calf shortly before our visit.
Chaffinch (Fringilla cœlebs).—One was in song near the cottage.
Linnet (Linota cannabina).—A few observed.
Sparrow (Passer domesticus).—We noted it only at the farm.
Starling (Sturnus vulgaris).—Not uncommon; about the farm and elsewhere. We heard young calling from a hole in a gully on the cliffs.
