102 CATALOGUE OF THE BIRDS OP SUFFOLK. 



Mr. Whittingham of Yoxford (S. and W. u. s.). A bird presumed 

 to have been of this species seen by several gardeners in the garden at 

 Glemham Hall, June 1868 (A. Clark-Kennedy in Z. 2nd S. 1696). 



Months. — May, June, and " spring." 

 Districts. — 1, 2. 



This brilliantly-coloured species is amongst the rarest 

 of our summer migrants. With the exception of a somewhat 

 doubtful case in 1868, it does not appear to have occurred 

 in Suffolk since 1845.
