Abstract
A FARM in this neighbourhood was visited yesterday by a flight of about forty sand-grouse (pin-tailed). They were first seen about 6 p.m. feeding on a ploughed field. On rising they took a north-westerly course. A pair which were shot by a gamekeeper are in my possession. The presence of these birds in our country is, I believe, of sufficiently rare occurrence to justify me in asking whether they have been noticed in other districts during the last few days.
