Jay.—The jay is common still, receiving migratory addi- 
tions in autumn, when our home-bred birds go south. 
JackDAaw.—Very common, and migratory. Inthe autumn 
jackdaws come into our fields, and a flock of Rooks 
at that season seldom passes overhead but the familiar 
cry is heard among them. 
Roox.— Modern agriculture suits the rook. If a census 
of rookeries could have been taken twenty-five years 
ago, and compared with another census now, it would 
probably be shown to have increased immensely as a 
resident. In autumn many come over the sea to us, 
but the bulk of them evidently pass on southwards 
and westwards.! 
RavEN.—Quite extinct, even as an accidental migrant. 
The last nests which I can hear of were at Shadwell 
and Ickburgh. At the former place, Mr. Newby, of 
Thetford, informs me they nested until about 1871; 
and at the latter, as I learn from Mr. Frank Norgate, 
until about 1866. 
CaRRION CRow.—As a summer migrant the carrion crow 
is still common on the larger ‘‘ broads” and in certain 
localities between Dereham and Aylsham, and the 
observations of Prof. Newton prove that it sometimes 
comes as an autumn migrant. (‘“ Zoologist,” 1878, 
Pp. 49.) 
HoopEep Crow.—An abundant winter visitant, and occa- 
sionally seen near the coast in summer. I shot a 
young one, ‘near Cromer, in August, 1877. The 
same, or another, had been seen, a few days before, to 
drive a woodpigeon from its nest and devour its eggs ! 
TREE CREEPER.=-A common resident. I have found a 
crevice between an old tree and its bark a favourite 
nesting-place. A more unusual one was a hole in a 
coal-cellar wall. 
‘It would be interesting to know where these migrants come from, 
as Norway and Sweden probably could not supply half of what 
appear.
