LEssER TERN.—A summer migrant; the principal breeding- 
place is at Blakeney, where they are now very nu- 
merous. They arrive at the end of April, and have 
almost all left by September 1st, but Yarrell} states 
that one was offered in Norwich market in the third 
week in December. 
SABINE’S GULL.—Two young Sabine’s gulls were shot on 
Breydon “‘ Broad,” in October 1881. 
KITTIWAKE.— A common spring and autumn visitant, oc- 
casionally occurring in winter, and also in the height 
of summer, but we have no record of its having ever 
nested. 
BLACK-HEADED GULL.—This is the only gull which nests 
in Norfolk; there is a large colony at Scoulton,? 
another at Hoveton, and a small one, I am told, ex- 
isted for a short time at Barton, and Mr. A. H. Evans 
tells me there is sometimes a nest or two at Hickling. 
LITTLE GULL.—Quite an accidental visitant, though in 
1870 we had an unprecedented migration of them. 
My father has one which was killed on a pond in 
Norwich, and I recently saw another which had fol- 
lowed the river up to Surlingham.? 
GLaucous GULL.—Not uncommon in winter. On the 26th 
of January, 1881, Mr. G. Smith, of Yarmouth, had 
twenty-seven brought in by gunners and fishermen! I 
examined most of these birds; seven were mature, 
nineteen immature, and one in change. 
ICELAND GuULL.—An accidental winter visitant, far rarer 
than the glaucous gull, in fact, Mr. Stevenson and I, 
after numerous enquiries, can only certify one un- 
doubted specimen, viz., a young female, in the pos- 
' «¢ British Birds,”’ vol. iti., p. 411. 
? In the second volume of Rowley’s ‘‘ Ornithological Miscellany’’ are 
three beautiful plates by Keulemans, of Scoulton Mere, and its Gulls. 
3 They are inland breeders in their own home, which is Russia.
