 place could not be found, entertained us greatly while we 

 " punted " round it. 



A pure white Cuckoo, with pink eyes, nearly full-grown, was 

 sent from near Stratton to Mr. Roberts, of Norwich, at the end 

 of the month, — a real albino, and a beautiful bird. Young 

 Hawfinches were reported from Stoke, Swardeston, Thorpe, 

 Feltwell, and Colney, where there was a nest of four, and two 

 were brought up by hand.
