Report on the Migration of Birds in the Spring and Autumn of 1883. Fifth Report

Note 23 — EAST COAST OF ENGLAND.

Reading edition

Mr. Clubley, of Kilnsea, near the Spurn, who during his life has probably shot more Cock than anyone living on the east coast, says that a S.E. wind always brings large grey or light-coloured Woodcocks, a N. wind small and red-coloured birds—that is, Scandinavian birds. This rule seems to hold good on other parts of our east coast. See also remarks by Mr. J. Harvie-Brown.
