Wuincuat.— A summer visitant, fairly common, but 
somewhat local. 
WHEATEAR.—Not common, at least not in East Norfolk, 
except at the periods of migration. Unknown in 
winter. 
Wuitr’s THRrusH.—Has occurred once, in October, 1871, 
at Hickling. 
MissEL THRuSH.—Common at all seasons, and a very 
early nester. Gregarious in autumn. 
Sonc THRUSH.—Universally spread over the county in 
the breeding season. The thrush receives a vast 
accession to its numbers in September and October. 
At that season our turnip fields swarm with migratory 
arrivals from Scandinavia; but in November most of 
them go south, though a good many remain in our 
woods until the first hard frost comes. 
Repwinc.—A winter visitant. Occasionally a stinging 
frost brings them in crowds, as in December, 1878, 
when these birds, and half-starved fieldfares, appeared 
at Cromer in extraordinary numbers. 
FIELDFARE.—The same remarks apply to the fieldfare, 
which is another winter visitant. At Cromer it is 
rather commoner than the redwing, but the reverse 
is the case near Norwich. 
BLACKBIRD.—Common in summer, vastly augmented in 
numbers in the autumn, and some remaining with 
us through the winter. 
Rinc Ovuzet.—Mr. Stevenson! speaks of the ring ouzel 
as a regular spring and autumn migrant, occasionally

catalogue of the birds of Norfolk must of necessity for many years to 
come be under considerable obligations to this work, which, owing to 
the ill-health of the author, has not yet been completed. I shall have 
occasion to make a good many references to it, and also to the 
record of rare birds contributed annually by Mr, Stevenson to the
