ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES FROM NORFOLK, 97 
Woodcock.—These birds were plentiful towards the end of the 
month, upwards of twenty were hanging for sale in our fish-market 
on the 28th. 
NovEMBER. 
Lapwing.—Two large flocks of these birds were seen at North- 
repps on the Ist, going west, and on the 4th large numbers were 
observed passing W.N.W., aud from their cries it would seem that 
their flight continued also during the night of the 4th, or at least 
some part of it. About the 15th immense flocks of Lapwings and 
Golden Plovers were observed in the same neighbourhood at 
Beeston Regis, and up to the close of the year the numbers of 
both Golden and Gray Plovers reported on the western side of the 
county, at Lynn, have been very unusual. 
Peregrine.—One shot at South Walsham early in the month. 
Bittern.— A single example was killed somewhere in the 
county on the 4th, and one at Beccles about the middle of the 
month. 
Rough-legged Buzzard.—An immature bird killed at Sidestrand, 
near Cromer, in the first week of November, was no doubt the 
same observed on the 8rd at Sheringham, mobbed by a Hooded 
Crow, and on the 4th at Northrepps, all closely adjoining. I have 
also seen three other specimens, all immature, killed in Norfolk 
during this month. 
Wood Pigeon.—On the 3rd of this month, and again on the 
12th, 13th, and 14th, very large flocks of Wood Pigeons were 
observed at Northrepps early in the morning, apparently coming in 
from the sea. 
Sea Eagle.—A single bird was seen at Sheringham, and subse- 
quently at Beeston Regis, about the 9th of this month. 
Common Guillemot.—On the morning of the 2nd a Common 
Guillemot was taken alive in the garden of the Rev. Mr. Norgate, 
of Sparham, near Norwich. It was found flapping along the 
walks, apparently fatigued, but uninjured. There had been 
much wind a night or two before from the west and _ north- 
west, but on the previous night by no means sufficient to 
account for its appearance, so very far inland, by the supposition 
that it had been caught in a gale, and so involuntarily carried 
away from the coast. 
Honey Buzzard.—Mzr. Baker, of Cambridge, informs me that on
