Lapwinc.—A very abundant species. In the autumn they collect 
into large flocks.

Crane.—In the time of Ray,* these birds. appear to have visited 
our fens in large flocks regularly during the. winter months, but 
they have long since deserted them; nor is it likely, from the 
altered state of the country in consequence of the improved 
system of drainage which is now carried on, that they will ever 
return thither. According to Pennant (Brit. Zool. Vol. II. p. 629.) 
a single specimen was killed near Cambridge about the year 1773. 
This I believe to: be the latest. instance on record in which the 
species has been met. with.

Heron.—In hard weather this species resorts to those brooks 
and running streams which seldom or never freeze, and at such 
times is met with in great numbers; but in other seasons it is 
only occasionally noticed in the neighbourhood of Bottisham, there 
being no place within a considerable distance where these birds 
are known to breed. 
A. stellaris, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p.580. 
Brrrern.—These birds are met with in Burwell fen and 
occasionally on. the moors about Cambridge, but they appear to 
be getting more scaree every year. Formerly they were plentiful.
