RED-THROATED Diver.—Is commoner than either of the 
preceding, and is, I believe, found at sea at all seasons 
of the year. These divers sometimes moult all their 
quill feathers at once, so as to be unable to fly for 
a short time. 
GREAT CRESTED GREBE.—This inhabitant of our “ broads” 
is supposed to be increasing, but I have visited many 
of them and seen scarcely any. A good “broad” for 
them is Ranworth, in the month of March; by the 
month following they are gone, or in hiding, for there 
is a very marked annual passage in early spring. Five 
or six pairs breed on Wretham Meres, in the south-west 
of the county. 
RED-NECKED GREBE.—Rarer than the last, and more ma- 
rine. In February, 1865, Norfolk received such a 
visitation that Mr. Stevenson examined or heard of 
thirty-five, most of which were killed on the coast.” 
Earep GREBE.—Rare. Mr. Stevenson enumerates no less 
than twenty-five specimens in full, or nearly full, breed- 
ing plumage, as against two obtained in the winter, 
but there is no reason to suppose they have ever nested 
here. (Comp. Dresser’s “ Birds of Europe,” vol. vii., 
p. 651.) 
ScLAVONIAN GREBE.—By no means uncommon in winter. 
at which season I have more than once obtained it at 
Cromer. My father has one in breeding plumage, 
killed at Sutton, and another in change. 
LittLe Gress, or Dascuick.—Fairly common. In severe 
weather I have seen them very hard put to it, and at 
such times they are occasionally found on the shore. In 
December, 1846, some were picked up in our Nor- 
wich streets. 
) Wild Geese and Waterhens sometimes do the same. 
% Other counties shared in the migration.
