JUNE. 
Heron.—On the 15th several young birds were observed on 
Salthouse beach, which had no doubt come from Gunton Lake, 
where there is a small heronry, the existence of which was until 
recently unknown to us. Nine were seen the same day at 
Overstrand. I find that Costessey heronry is now deserted.—G. 
Tree Creeper.—-On the 7th Mr. Norgate showed me a tree 
creeper at Sparham sitting upon some young blue tits. He had 
introduced the eggs with a salt-spoon at the time he had taken 
the creeper’s.—G. 
Pied Flycatcher.—On the 3rd Mr. Norgate took two eggs, 
which appear to be evidently pied flycatcher’s, from a nest of four 
on some trellis-work on the south side of Mr. Marsh’s house at 
Sall. The old birds had been seen near it a few days before.—G. 
Greater Whitethroat.—About the 5th a pied whitethroat was 
shot at Heigham, which I secured.—G. 
Reed Warbler.—On the 19th, at Hempstead, Mr. Cordeaux and 
I found a nest with two eggs, two with one egg, and one building, 
and one which we could not see into.—G. 
Rook.—On the 19th I observed a rook with white primaries in a 
field at Aylmerton.—G. : 
Nightingale.—Mr. Crowfoot informs me that the nightingale 
seems to be much increasing at Beccles, and that it has nested this 
summer in several gardens in the middle of the town.—G. 
Carrion Crow.—On the Ist Mr. Norgate took four nests at 
Bawdeswell.—G. 
Lesser Tern.—On the 14th and 15th Mr. H. Saunders and 
myself saw a great many at Blakenny Point and on Salthouse
