LONG-TAILED TITMOUSE.—Resident. The young accom- 
pany their parents after they leave the nest. 
[PaLLas’ GREY SHRIKE.—Whether this variety be ulti- 
mately considered a distinct species from the great 
grey shrike or not, it is entitled to a place in the 
Norfolk list, as a not infrequent visitor. | 
GREAT GREY SHRIKE.—Occasional visitors at all seasons 
of the year except the summer, but more particularly 
occurring in the autumn. 
LESSER GREY SHRIKE.—This rarity has occurred twice, 
both times at Yarmouth. 
RED-BACKED SHRIKE. “ Butcher Bird.”—A summer mi- 
grant, not common. A pair or two generally nest 
near Cromer, impaling their prey, which consists 
principally of bumblebees, on the hedges ; frogs, mice, 
moths, wasps, small birds, etc., may also be found. 
WoopcHat.—Has been supposed to have been killed four 
or five times, but I have reason to believe the beau- 
tiful male in my father’s collection, shot at Yarmouth, 
in April, 1859, is the only veritable Norfolk specimen.1 
Waxwinc.—A rare winter visitant, but occasionally coming 
in large numbers. Was probably known as a Norfolk 
bird as far back as the reign of Charles II., from Sir 
Thomas Browne’s reference to it in one of his letters to 
Merritt.” 
GOLDEN ORIOLE.—One of our rarest summer visitors. 
In 1850 it nested near Norwich. Mr. E. T. Booth, 
on whose authority this statement is made, saw the 
' Another particularly fine male, shot by Mr. T. M. Spalding in 
Lord Stradbrooke’s park at Henham, in Suffolk, came into my pos- 
session at the sale of Mr. Spalding’s collection.
