ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES FROM NORFOLK. 
; By Henry Stevenson, F.L.S. 
In continuation of my notes for 1882, contributed to ‘The 
Zoologist’ last year (pp. 870—374, 411—416), I now forward 
those for 1883, to be followed shortly by those for 1884. 
On January 3rd an immature Red-necked Grebe was shot 
near Yarmouth; and on the 5th a young Sclavonian Grebe at 
Potter Heigham. On the 38rd a Brent Goose was shot flying 
close to the houses next the beach at Yarmouth; and on the 4th 
a pair of Bean Geese at Winterton. On the 8th seven Wild Geese 
of some species were seen to cross Breydon, possibly Pink-footed, 
as one was shot at Fritton about the same time. On the 19th 
the Rey. E. T. Frere, of Burston, near Diss, informed me that 
three flocks of Wild Geese, the largest containing at least forty 
_ birds, passed over that parish, passing south-east. One flock 
came down low enough to be fired at, but without effect. An 
adult Bean Goose was also shot at Halvergate on the 19th; and 
two were sent up to Norwich from Yarmouth a few days later. 
A female Merlin was shot at Potter Heigham on the 5th; and on 
the 23rd another near Yarmouth. ‘Three Shelducks were seen, 
and one shot, on Breydon, January lst, and seven were seen 
on Breydon on the 10th; two immature were shot there on 
the 13th, and one on the 16th. Three Short-eared Owls were 
brought into Yarmouth on the 15th. Two Waxwings were 
killed at Gorleston on the 13th; two, also near Yarmouth, on the 
19th, and one on the 20th; and one at Tivetshall on the 18th; 
probably part of the flock that reached us in December, 1882.
