MarsH HARRIER.—About two pairs still nest in the 
“broad” district, and it is still no uncommon sight to 
see them searching the marshes for prey.! 
MonTacu’s HARRIER.—In June 1883, I was shown a nest of 
this species in a field of rushy grass, not fifty yards 
from a well-used waterway ; the female sat very close, 
and I had an excellent view of her. It was formerly 
a regular nester, and is now, as a migrant, about as 
common as the hen harrier. 
Hen Harrier.—lI have not heard of any recent instance 
of the hen harrier’s nesting in Norfolk, but it is not 
very uncommon as an autumn migrant. 
Common Buzzarp.—Has long ceased to breed with us, but 
as autumn migrants a great many come over. The 
Rev. C. J. Lucas, of Burgh, has a beautiful pied 
variety, a phase more usual in the honey buzzard 
than in this species, though rare in either. 
ROUGH-LEGGED Buzzarp.—An autumn and winter visitant, 
occasionally quite abundant. The last ‘‘ invasion” 
was In 1880, when I saw at least a score flying about, 
or dead. 
GREENLAND FaLcon.—A superb adult Greenland falcon, 
subsequently presented to the Norwich Museum by 
Mr. Charles Hoare, was shot near Cromer in February, 
1848. Mr. Stevenson informs me, that there is one 
other Norfolk specimen at Saffron Walden, said to have 
been taken at Sandringham.? 
PEREGRINE FaLcon.—Anyone who has learned to distin- 
guish the peregrine at a distance, will discover that it is 
not at all an uncommon hawk in Norfolk on passage.? 
1 They are, however, rapidly growing scarcer. I recently made a 
three days’ expedition on the ‘‘ Broads’’ without seeing a harrier of 
any kind.

3 William Camden, in the reign of Elizabeth, speaks of the catching 
of hawks at Hunstanton, alluding doubtless to the peregrine, which 
ceased breeding there about 1821.
