WHITE SToRK—As an accidental straggler has occurred 
more times in Norfolk than in any other part of 
England. Mr. Stevenson enumerates twenty-three. 
BiackK STorK.—Has occurred twice, viz., at Westacre, 
May roth, 1867, and at Breydon, June 27th, 1877. 
GLossy Ipis.—Very rare, but Mr. Stevenson enumerates 
twelve specimens, and two have occurred since. 
CurRLEw.—To be found at almost all seasons of the year 
along our coast, particularly where there are mud-fiats, 
at low tide, to feed on, as at Blakeney. Never breeds 
in Norfolk. 
WHIMBREL.—Common at Blakeney, where I have often 
obtained them, and go by the name of “ Maybird,” 
from their arriving in that month. 
RED-BREASTED SNIPE.—This rare straggler from America 
has occurred three times, viz., in October, 1836, in 
October, 1841, and in October, 1845. 
BARTAILED Gopwit.—A spring and autumn migrant to 
our shores. Commoner at Breydon than at Blakeney. 
I have obtained it in almost every plumage. 
BLACK-TAILED Gopwit.—Has long ceased to breed in 
Norfolk, and now only occurs as a spring and autumn 
migrant. Mr. Stevenson puts the date of the last nest 
at about 1830. Lubbock, in a communication to 
Yarrell puts it rather later.! 
GREENSHANK.—A spring and autumn migrant. In August, 
1873, one was shot at Northrepps, by a small road- 
side pond—a remarkable locality for a shore-loving 
bird. 
SPOTTED REDSHANK.—Young birds are not uncommon. 
Occasionally killed in the black breeding plumage. 
My father has one of the most perfect Norfolk speci- 
mens I ever saw. Another particularly fine one was 
killed in May, 1875.
