 common Sandpiper) is found on several parts of 

 our coasts during spring and autumn. 



The numbers however that are met with are 

 far greater at the latter season, when the majority 

 of the flocks are composed of immature birds. 



Two of the specimens in the case were shot 

 on Hickling Broad in June, 1870, and the remainder 

 on Breydon mudflats in May, 1871.
