Skelligs.—November 5th, one on island; 9th, flocks, 12.30 P.M. to 4 P.M., going N.E.; wind light S.E. These Rooks seem to have flown a long distance as they were apparently very tired. There were about one hundred in the first flock, and eighty in the second. They came from the westward. The second flock rested about ten minutes on island. 12th, sixteen; 18th, fourteen. [A somewhat similar flight of Rooks, from W. to E., occurred at the Tearaght and Skelligs in 1884.—See Migration Report for that year. The question is, where were they coming from? There is no land to W. of Skelligs. The Tearaght is 20 miles N. of Skelligs, and both about 9 miles from shore.]
