THE ZooLocist—JuLy, 1872. 3133 
Hooded Crow.—On the 19th one was seen at Northrepps: on the 
20th a backward female—perhaps the same—was trapped at Trim- 
mingham. I learn from Mr. Boyes that the same day he saw one 
at Spurn, in Yorkshire.—G. 
Rook.—On the 24th a rook was seen eating a young starling at 
Keswick.—G. 
Green Woodpecker.—On the 8th I witnessed an instance of the 
tenacity of the green woodpecker to its nest. I was shown the 
hole, which was low enough down to look into. We then adopted 
every means to induce the bird to leave, but in vain, and it was not 
until we retired to a distance that she ultimately flew out.—G. 
Woodcock.—On the 7th two young woodcocks were found in 
“Harrison’s brake” at Felbrigg. Another nest was also found 
in the Hercules Wood at Blickling, and Lord Kimberley, in the 
‘Field’ of May 25th, says, “Four woodcocks were hatched in 
one of my woods this spring. When last seen they were able to 
fly.” —G. 
Spring Waders.—On the 7th I observed many ring dotterel at 
Salthouse and Cley, breeding. ‘The only bird I shot there was a 
whimbrel: five more were shot about the 13th and sent to Norwich 
Market. On the 15th I saw at Mr. Gunn’s a bartailed godwit, in 
winter plumage, and on the 17th two in summer plumage, which, 
with a knot and some turnstones in full plumage, or nearly so, 
had been sent up from Breydon. He also had four good sander- 
lings from near Happisburgh, about the 20th, and one from 
Breydon.— G. 
Spoonbill.—I learn from Mr. R. Upcher that two were seen on 
Breydon Broad about the middle of the month.—G. 
Waterhen.—On the 8th I found twenty-eight waterhens’ eggs at 
Hempstead, with the keeper, who had taken forty-two before 
I came, besides forty-eight more on the 3rd. He took nearly two 
hundred last spring.—G. 
Garganey.—On the 29th a drake garganey rose close to me 
at Hoveton, where they have bred this year, as also at Ran- 
worth.—G. 
Shoveller Duck.—The shoveller has bred in more than one 
locality this year. At West Toffis two nests were taken, and 
hatched off, I am informed, under hens.—G. 
Lesser Tern (local “ dipears.”)—I saw a great many at Blakeney 
on the 7th.—G.
