250 • CATALOGUE OF THE BIRDS OF SUFFOLK 



Marsh Harrier. — *7. One shot many years ago by Sir H. Bunbury 

 on the verge of the Mildenhall Fen (Sir C. Bunbury in litt). Two 

 shot at West Row, Mildenhall, March 20, 1881 (Howlett in lilt). 



Montagu's Harrier. — 7. Eggs found on Cavenham Heath in a 

 furze bush in 1879 ; the old male was shot, and is in Mr. Barclay's 

 possession (Howlett v. v.). A male shot at Higham Jan. 16, 1882 (id. 

 in MIL). One at Elveden Nov. 1885 (D. Newby v.v. C. B. !). 



8. A very fine adult bird shot at Euston, Dec. 1876 ; and two very 

 young birds, Aug. 1877 (B. W. Cooper, who has them, and has seen 

 others, C. B. !) 



Great Grey Shrike. — 2. One of the form called Pallas' Grey 

 Shrike obtained at Aldeburgh, now in the Ipswich Museum (C. B. !). 



3. Another of the same form shot at the mouth of the Orwell, spring 

 1883 (Podd v.v. C. B. !). 



Dipper. — 1. A well-marked specimen of the black-breasted form (G. 

 melanogaster) was shot some years ago at Lowestoft, and is in Sir 

 John Crewe's Collection. He told Mr. Gurney that he had once seen a 

 Dipper with chesnut breast (G. aquaticus) shot at Tattingstone (J. H. 

 Gurney, jun., in litt, who saw the Lowestoft specimen). Another 

 specimen of the chesnut-breasted form was shot at Breydon Wall in 1849 

 (J. H. Gurney, jun., in Mason's Norfolk iv., 9) and one was seen at 

 Ixworth Thorpe in the summer of 1884 by Mr. W. J. Manfield, who 

 distinctly observed that it had a reddish tinge about the breast (in lilt). 

 I had perhaps somewhat exaggerated the rarity of this species in Suffolk 

 in calling it extremely rare. 



Fieldfare. — 1. One, killed at Carlton Colville, had a mottled back 

 and nearly white head (H. Tilney in litt). 



Redwing. — 2. A buff-coloured variety has been occasionally noticed 

 by Mr. Rope near Blaxhall (Rope MS.). 



Thrush. — A dun and cream-coloured variety shot at Euston (B. W. 

 Cooper who has it, C. B. !). 



Ring Ouzel.— 8. A pair nested at Ixworth Thorpe in spring 1884, 

 close to Mr. Manfield's garden (W. J. Manfield in lilt). Specimens of 

 this bird have lately been met with in many parts of Suffolk. 



Redbreast. — 4. A variety with white or partially white feathers on 

 various parts of the body shot at Ipswich Dec. 7, 1868, by Mr. Last 

 (Lasting. 2nd S. iv., 1513.). 



Black Redstart. — 2. An immature bird (S. Gairii) shot at Aldeburgh, 

 by Mr. H. Greenwood, March 23, 1871 (C. R. Bree in Field, April 15, 

 1871). See Newton's Yarrelli., 338 ; E. Newman in Z. 2nd S. vi. 

 (1871), 2728.
