It is very rare to find this species so far inland, so thoroughly marine is it in its habits, and I am not aware, more- over, that it is considered common on any part of our coast. It retires to the far North for the breeding season, and appears to be most plentiful here in the autumn and early spring. * Although its habits confine it chiefly to the sea-shore, individuals nevertheless occasionally mingle with a flock of Ring Plovers or Dunlin, and thus stray some little distance inland in compa...ny with these birds.
This usually happens about the time that the various flocks of waders are migrating in spring and autumn.
On the 24th August, 1865, I most unexpectedly met with a Turnstone so far inland as the Reservoir at Kingsbury, which must be thirty miles from the nearest sea-point. I was walking round this sheet of water with my gun, and had just fired both barrels at a couple of Ring Plovers, killing one and missing the other ; and while standing perfectly still, endea- vouring to mark down the fugitive, a bird came flying up the water, uttering a loud note, which at * The latest stay that I have remarked for this species is the 18th May, on which date I once shot two out of a flock on the Northumbrian coast.
