Among the regular visitors are included the white wagtail, the pied flycatcher, the nightjar, the black redstart, the lesser redpole, the snow bunting, the redwing, the reed, marsh, and grasshopper warblers, the siskin, the dotterel, the sanderling, the wryneck, the hobby, the merlin, the bittern, and the shoveller.
The Sanderling is a regular and rather early autumn visitant to all the Islands, as I have shot one as early as the end of August in Cobo Bay in Guernsey; this is about the time the Sanderling makes its first appearance on the opposite side of the Channel at Torbay.
The two in the Museum seem to bear out this, as one is nearly in winter plumage, and the other is assuming the red plumage of the breeding season, and could not have been killed before April or May. The Sanderling is included in Professor Ansted's list, and marked by him as occurring in Guernsey and Sark. GREY PHALAROPE. Phalaropus fulicarius, Linnaeus.
It is included in Professor Ansted's list, and marked as occurring in Guernsey only. There is no specimen in the Museum. SANDERLING. Calidris arenaria, Linnaeus. French, "Sanderling variable."
