More frequent than the last. One in my collection was killed on the hill of Dunn, and another in the museum was shot at Forglen. The nests of this species have also been found in the neighbourhood, though rarely.
Falco apivorus [The Honey Buzzard].
A still rarer species. A splendid specimen was shot at Gamrie a few years ago. They are usually termed “Gleds” with us.
Falco æruginosus [The Marsh Harrier].
Specimens of these birds are occasionally shot in this neighbourhood.
Falco cyaneus [The Hen Harrier].
Occasionally met with. The male is known here by the names of gray, blue, and lead hawk; the female by the name of ring-tail.
Falco cinerascens [Ash-coloured Harrier].
I have only met with one of this species here. It was a first-rate specimen,—a male, and a very pretty bird.
