Wat. CrEEPER.—No bird is more fairly entitled to a place 
in the Norfolk list than this, though it was shot so 
long ago as October 30th, 1792, at Stratton Strawless.! 
NuTHATcH.—I should say the nuthatch was a commoner 
bird in Norfolk than in most parts of England, and to 
me its loud note in the spring is a very familiar 
sound.? 
SwALLow.—Common in summer. 
MarRTIN.—Common in summer. 
SAND MarTIN.—Common in summer. 
SHORELARK.—The shorelark is now discovered to be not 
at all uncommon. It isa winter visitant, and is always 
found on the coast. I have known a flock, when not 
all shot, to remain in the same place for months. 
SKYLARK.—A very common resident, and yet, at the same 
time, there is not a more essentially migratory bird. 
A misty night in October is sure to bring them to our 
lighthouses. 
Woop.tark.—Through the kindness of a friend, I have 
received specimens of this bird from Brandon. It is 
a summer visitant to a few localities in South-West 
Norfolk. 
GREATER SPOTTED WOODPECKER.—A few nests of this 
handsome species are annually found, and sometimes 
we have a considerable arrival of migrants in autumn, 
as in 1866 and 1868. 
LESSER SPOTTED WOODPECKER.—Found in small numbers. 
I have seen one which was picked up many years ago 
on the beach. I once shot one near Cromer, the only 
one I ever heard of there ; it was on an oak tree, to 
' Another is said to have been killed in Lancashire in May, 1872. 
? For avery good account of the nidification of the nuthatch, in 
Norfolk, by Mr. Frank Norgate, see the ‘‘Zoologist”’ (1880, p. 41). 
Among the scores of nests 1 have examined, I have never seen one 
without mud at the entrance.
