LAPWING OR Pewit.—Still a common resident, subject to 
partial migrations, particularly near the coast. 
Grey PLover.—A rather common spring and autumn 
migrant, to the mudflats at Lynn, Blakeney, and Brey- 
don. My father kept one of these birds alive, in per- 
fect health, about four years ; it was taken in a net at 
Lynn. 
GOLDEN PLover.—A winter visitant, fairly common. 
[EASTERN GOLDEN PLoveR.—In December, 1874, Mr. 
E. Bidwell detected an example of this Asiatic 
Plover in Leadenhall Market, said to have been 
sent up from Norfolk. It was exhibited at a meet- 
ing of the Norwich Naturalists’ Society, July 25th, 
1876.1] 
DoTTEREL.—Passing ‘“‘trips” still visit us in spring, and 
occasionally a few in the autumn, but at that season it 
is supposed to prefer a more easterly route, and speeds 
on without loitering.? 
RINGED PLOVER OR RINGED DOTTEREL.—A resident, re- 
ceiving additions in autumn. The ringed plover 
breeds not only on the sea shore, but in small 
numbers on Thetford Warren, forty-five miles from the 
sea. 
KENTISH PLOvER.—A summer visitant, but rather rare. I 
have known it occur three times at Blakeney, and it 
has been often obtained at Yarmouth. 
OyYSTERCATCHER.— Decidedly commonest on the shores of 
the Wash, the handsome oystercatcher has earned for 
' Without wishing to throw doubt on this particular bird, I must say 
that my experience of London markets leads me to consider ‘‘ locali- 
ties”” worth next to nothing from that quarter. 
? As bearing on this point, it may be noticed that a great many 
passed the island of Heligoland, off the mouth of the Elbe, on August 
22nd, 1882, and again on September 4th; but it also occurs there in 
spring, as Herr Gatke informed me.
