There were great flightswith other small birds in October 1882, but in the year 1885the greatest rush ever known occurred. It took placein two flights, from the 15th to the 17th October, night andday, and again from the 7th to the 17th November (SixthMigration Report). At Redcar, on 21st to 23rd October1884, there was an incessant day and night migration. Iheard flocks passing overhead during the small hours ofmorning on each of these dates, and saw many crossingbetween 9 and dusk. Rushes took place also at Spurnand Flamborough in October 1896 and 1898.
