Eudromias morinellus

A passing migrant in the spring and autumn.

This species is very rarely seen in Pembrokeshire. We are indebted to the Rev. Clennell Wilkinson, rector of Castle Martin, for the information that one was shot in his parish in the spring of 1S88. It is not in Mr. Mathias' list, or in the one we have received from Sir Hugh Owen.
