Their dispersal, however, is not difficult to trace, and the line of its advances are from northerly, westerly, and north-westerly directions. The first full clutch with down was added to the collection in the Perth Museum not before 1895. At that time it was considered not at all a common nesting bird within the Tay Basin or Strathmore. The clutch in question came from Loch Baa in the north-west. But there is clear evidence in the late Mr. E. R. Alston's journals of the species nesting on the Black Water Lochs.
