known to nest. A keeper at Gimingham, now dead, 
who knew something of birds, used to assert that 
it had bred there. In 1861 it is recorded to have 
nested at Ashwicken, near Lynn (“ Field,” Qct. 26th, 
1876). 
DIPPER (Czuclus aquaticus : Bechst.).—I have seen a well- 
marked specimen of the common dipper, or water 
ouzel, in the collection of the Rev. C. J. Lucas, shot 
on Breydon Wall!in 1849. It has also occurred at 
Reedham and Hellesdon. 
BLACK-BELLIED DIPPER (C. melanogaster: C. L. Brehm).— 
An occasional visitant from Scandinavia. A pair in 
the Norwich Museum were obtained at Buxton Mills, 
in 1864 and 1869, by Mr. J. Gambling, who has since 
seen two more. The Bure here is rather rapid, but 
not deep. 
DARTFORD WARBLER.—Has only been recognised twice, 
as stated by Mr. Stevenson—both times at Yarmouth ; 
but it is not unlikely that careful search on our 
commons would reveal others. 
Wren.—Common all the year. A nest built in a currant- 
bush at Northrepps Hall, amid clusters of red fruit, 
was one of the prettiest sights I ever saw. 
GOLDEN-CRESTED WREN.—Common at all seasons. Always 
receiving additions, and occasionally enormous addi- 
tions, in the autumn.

The value of a systematic record, which in the case of Norfolk, has 
been kept up, almost without a break, from 1843 to the present time, 
is shown by the detail with which we are now able to speak of many 
of the rarer species. 
1In referring to lists of Norfolk birds, it is as well to remember 
that, for ornithological purposes, Breydon and Yarmouth are practi- 
cally the same, as are Hickling and Potter Heigham, and Blakeney 
and Cley.
