46 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
October 11th. Large flocks of Starlings seen at Northrepps going 
westward. 
», 12th. A very considerable flock of brown Linnets in the “ Karlham 
fields” near Norwich. 
» 14th. A stream of migrants was observed on the coast at Hun- 
stanton, arriving almost continuously throughout the day, and passing inland, 
strong on the wing. These arrivals consisted of Larks, Starlings, green and 
brown Linnets, Chaffinches, Missel Thrushes, Carrion Crows, and Rooks. 
The numbers of each species observed varied, considerably, from small 
flocks to three or four individuals, the first four largely predominating, 
but the Sky Larks, though coming in driblets, exceeded all in numbers 
the day through. All flying steadily in the “eye of the wind,” from 
S. to N. 
», 18th. Large flocks of Sky Larks seen at Northrepps going 
westward. 
» 20th. Two small flocks of Rooks seen struggling inland, at 
Lowestoft, against a strong breeze from the S.W. 
» 24th. Between 11 and 12.40 a.m. two flocks of Starlings, three 
of Sky Larks, and one of supposed Greenfinches, were seen to arrive on the 
coast between Lowestoft and Pakefield, within the range of a quarter of a 
mile, and, rising as they topped the billows, passed high over the cliffs, 
flying strong inland. Wind fresh from W.S.W., but more West than 
South, and so directly were these birds flying in the “eye of the wind” that 
three flocks passed nearly over a flagstaff, with its weather-cock pointing 
away from the sea. A Swallow and two House Martins were flying over 
the beach at the same time, and the grassy slopes of the cliffs were alive 
with Rock Pipits, not observed the day before. 
November 8th. A Hobby seen, going inland, at Northrepps. 
» 10th. A Common Buzzard seen at Northrepps. 
» 18th. A few Fieldfares seen, going inland, at Northrepps. 
» 19th. A large quantity of Wood Pigeons seen, going inland, 
at Northrepps. 
» lst. A large quantity of Fieldfares, going inland, and a few 
Golden Plover, seen at Northrepps. 
» 26th to 28th. Flocks of Lapwings, going west, seen at 
Northrepps. 
Siskins apparently plentiful early in December; but, as far as I can 
ascertain, no Mealy Redpolls this winter. j
