This is a rare casual visitant. Selby states in his catalogue, 

 that '' a few years ago he saw one at Alnwick Castle, which was 

 killed at Hulne Abbey," and that "two specimens were some 

 time ago shot near Stockton-upon-Tees." 



I have three examples which were shot in Streatham Park : 

 one many years since, and two, a male and female, in the winter 

 of 1837. Several specimens were seen near Belsay Castle, in 

 1860 and 1862. In the former year thi'ee of them were shot, 

 and one taken alive. This beautiful species is not known to 

 have bred in either county.

A resident, and probably the most abimdant bird in the dis* 

 trict, and certainly one of the most beautiful.
