Text Appearing Before Image:
fying thepertinacity with which this species clings to its old haunts,it may be mentioned that, quite recently, Mr. T. Audasfound a nest, in the East Riding, in the middle of a fairlylarge plantation of trees from twelve to fourteen feet high ;evidently an old nesting site, and resorted to prior to theplanting of the trees. In the breeding season the StoneCurlew utters a note somewhat like Kiddy, kiddy, kiddy—Kiddy, kiddy, kiddy. Kiddy, kiddy, kiddy, kiddy : this iswhen a bird has lost its companions. In the evening they leavethe dry, sandy rabbit-warrens, and seek their food in thecultivated fields, when they become very noisy, and theirwild whistling cries may be heard in many places where thebirds are not to be found in the day-time. Besides the names of Stone Curlew, Norfolk Plover, andThick-knee, this bird sometimes receives the cognomen ofGreat or Whistling Plover ; Tunstall terms it Thick-kneedBustard ; while Kelne was the name given by all the oldwarreners in east Yorkshire.

565 COLLARED PRATINCOLE. .Glareola pratincola (Z.). Accidental visitant from southern Europe, Africa, and Asia, ofextremely rare occurrence. This peculiar and interesting bird is an accidental wandererfrom the south of Europe, Africa, and Asia, occurring veryrarely in these islands. It has been chronicled on threedifferent occasions in Yorkshire, the first being noted bythe late Sir Wm. Milner, who stated that a fine specimen waskilled when in company with a flock of Dotterels, in May 1844,on Staxton Wold, five miles from Scarborough, and passedinto the possession of Mr. Peter Hawksworth (Zool. 1848,p. 2023). The second example was recorded by the late Joseph Duffof Bishop Auckland, as being just (9th February 1850) receivedby him from Bedlington in Northumberland (op. cit1850, p. 2771), but, in a subsequent letter to the late JohnHancock, he informed him that the locality mentioned wasa misprint, and that the bird had been taken at Bridlingtonin Yorkshire ( Birds of Northd. and Dm. p
