TEMMINCK'S STINT. (IMMATURE). 

 Case 291. 



A few of these birds may generally be met 

 with every autumn in suitable localities all round 

 our southern and eastern coasts. 



I have observed them at times in the neigh- 

 bourhood of the fresh-water broads in Norfolk and 

 have alscn found them frequenting the mudbanks of 

 Breydon and the flat harbours on the Sussex coast. 



The specimens in the case were obtained on 

 Breydon mudflats in September, 1872. 



See " Kough Notes " Vol. II, Plate 31. 



RED-NECKED GREBE. 

 Case 292. 



The Red-Necked Grebe is of uncertain occur- 

 rence in the British Islands ; the majority of the 

 specimens procured are however obtained along the 

 eastern coast. 



The bird in the case exhibits the immature 

 plumage and was shot on Breydon mudflats in 

 August, 1873. 



See "Kough Notes," Vol. III., Plate 21. 



DUNLIN. (SUMMER). 

 Case 293. 



The Dunlin breeds abundantly on the moors 

 in the northern parts of the island. During 

 autumn, winter and early spring, they may be 

 met with in smaller or larger flocks all round our 

 shores, occasionally after stormy weather making 

 their appearance inland. 



About the middle of November, 1872, the 

 coast of Norfolk was visited by a terrific gale
