Through the drift he loomed as big as a Buzzard, for which he might easily have been mistaken. The quantities of mice which at this season are found far out on the open moors are, no doubt, the chief attraction to the Owls. The number of those little creatures one some- times sees in the course of a day's shooting is surprising. I may add, in reference to this species, that I have observed what I have no doubt was a Short-eared Owl (hunting by day) on September 1, and another (obtained) as late... as March 29, which dates make their nesting in this neighbourhood appear probable. By the month of November the general autumnal migra- tion (so far as the moorlands are concerned) appears to have been completed, and bird movements are, for the time, suspended. Most birds appear to have settled themselves down into their permanent winter quarters. Thus, for example, the following figures, showing the relative abun- dance of Snipe on the moors during the different autumnal months, prove that arrivals of that bird have ceased for the year.
