unlikely that the first was a wild bird, but the 
other six, if really captured as stated, had pro- 
bably escaped.+ ] 
REED Buntinc.—A resident on our “broads.” I once 
shot one, in winter, near Norwich, about four miles 
from any marshy place, which I thought very unusual 
at the time. 
Snow Buntinc.—To be found in winter all along the 
coast, commonest at Yarmouth, Blakeney, and on the 
shores of the Wash. 
LAPLAND BuNTING.—Has occurred four times, all males, 
and three out of the four were taken alive in nets, the 
other being shot. 
RED-WINGED STARLING.—Has occurred once, on June 2nd, 
1843, at Barton ‘‘ Broad.” ‘This specimen is figured 
in Yarrell’s “‘ British Birds.” 
STARLING.—No bird, except the skylark, oftener immolates 
itself against our lighthouses than the starling ;” but 
there can be no doubt that this pert bird is on the 
increase, to the detriment of weaker species. 
ROsE-COLOURED Pastor.—The first rose pastor killed in 
Norfolk, and the second obtained in England, was 
shot, in 1847, at Rougham. Since then, about fifteen 
others have occurred, nearly all males, and mostly in 
August. It does not ae to have been got in the 
spring. 
NUTCRACKER.—An inhabitant of Central Europe. One 
shot at Rollesby, October 30th, 1844; another taken 
off Yarmouth, October 7th, 1853. 
Macpir.—Besides being resident in small] numbgrs, mi- 
grants keep on dropping in, and in the woods about 
Cromer, Weybourne, and Holt, I have often seen 
two or three in a day. 
! At the same time it is a common summer visitor to Bole dis- 
tant only 100 miles. 
? This was notably the case in October, 1871, and October, 1874.
