THE BIRDS OF BRECONSHIRE. 293 



on the "Wye, at Clyro, near Hay, some years since. Last winter 

 another was picked up at the Skreen, Erwood, on the borders of 

 the county, by Mr. Williams Vaughan, jun., after one of the 

 violent storms of last winter ; and at the same time a third was 

 found dead on the " Captain's Walks," one of the most favourite 

 promenades of our town. 



ADDENDA. 



Honey Buzzard, Pernis ap ivorus.— Another Honey Buzzard 

 was killed at Dany Park, near Crickhowell, by Mrs. Crawshay's 

 keeper eitber in 1871 or 1872. I am indebted to Mr. A. Craw- 

 shay, of Llansantfraed, for this information. 



Great Grey Shrike, Lanins excubitor.— One was seen at 

 Tredustan, near Tregunter, in November last, by Mr. Roche, of 

 Tregunter, and his brother. It was easily recognised by both 

 of them, they having often observed it on the Continent. It has 

 also been observed in the county by Miss Lloyd, of Llandefailog, 

 Brecon. 



Hooded Crow, Corvus comix.— One was killed here last 

 winter on the hill called the " Allt," near Buckland, by Cross, the 

 keeper. It is most rare with us. I have never yet seen it here, 

 and its occurrence so far west is most unusual. 



Hoopoe, Upupa epops.— In addition to the two specimens 

 already mentioned, I have to record a third which was killed in 

 the neighbourhood of Llangorse by Mr. Penry Lloyd, who then 

 lived at Brynderwen, and who was kind enough to give me this 

 information. 



Wood Wren, Phylloscopus sibilatrix— This bird has been 

 more numerous than usual with us during the present summer. 



Grey Phalarope, Phalaropus fulicarius.— One killed on the 

 Wye, near Glasbury. I have seen this bird, which has been 

 preserved ; it is in winter plumage.
