 formerly, but it still nests here in a few scattered localities. C. cornix, the 

 Hooded, Norway, Danish, or " Royston " Crow, is an autumn immigrant as

 now a very rare visitor to Norfolk ; it is probable that it last nested in this 

 county in the year 1859. The Jackdaw, or Caddow, is common enough, 

 but the Chough [Pyrrhocorax graculus) is quite unknown in Norfolk. 

 Although the Magpie must have been well known to Browne I find no 

 mention of it in these notes.
