PIED WAGTAIL. AUTUMN. 

 Case F. 



For a very short time in the autumn this common 

 species sometimes assumes a canary coloured tint on the 

 light parts of the neck and head. Two specimens in this 

 plumage are here shewn, one of which (an immature bird) 

 was obtained by Mr. Booth, but no record has been found 

 shewing where or when. The other, an adult, was shot by 

 Mr. A. F. Griffith on the river bank near Old Shoreham, 

 November 8th, 1873, and by him given to the collection. 



HOBBIE.

These hawks breed, though rarely, in Sussex. The pair 

 in the case were shot on their nest near Firle, Sussex, at 

 Whitsun, 1869, by Mr. Frank Trangmar, of Brighton, who 

 presented them to the Museum in 1897.
