1306 Birds. 



Common Dipper, Cinclus aquaticus. As far as we are aware the 

 dipper only occurs in Norfolk as a rare and irregular straggler. 



Missel Thrush, Tardus viscivorus. Common throughout the year, 

 and breeds in Norfolk. 



Fieldfare, Turdus pilaris. A common winter visitant, arriving in 

 November, and leaving us late in April. 



Song Thrush, Turdus musicus. Common throughout the year and 

 breeds with us. In very severe winters, many of the song thrushes 

 appear to leave this district and to go further south. 



Redwing, Turdus iliacus. A common winter visiter, arriving in 

 Norfolk somewhat later than the fieldfare, and departing rather 

 earlier. 



Blackbird, Turdus merula. Common throughout the year, and 

 breeds with us. 



Ring Ousel, Turdus torquatus. This bird occurs in its migration, 

 going northward in spring and southward in autumn ; and it has also 

 been known in one or two instances to nest in this district. 



Golden Oriole, Oriolus galbula. This rare bird has been several 

 times procured in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk ; and two in- 

 stances are on record of its nesting in this district. 



Alpine Accentor, Accentor alpinus. We believe that the alpine 

 accentor has not been taken in the county of Norfolk, but the Rev. R. 

 Lubbock observed one in the year 1824, about the month of March, 

 at Oulton in Suffolk : and we may also mention the well-known cap- 

 ture of Dr. Thackeray's specimen at Cambridge, as an instance of its 

 occurrence in this part of the island. 



Hedge Accentor, Accentor modularise Redbreast, Erythaca nube- 

 cula. Common throughout the year, and breed in the county. 



Blue-throated Warbler, Plicenicura Suecica. A male bird of this 

 species was found dead on the beach at Yarmouth on the 21st of Sep- 

 tember, 1841, which is the only instance that has come to our know- 

 ledge of its occurrence in Norfolk. 



Common Redstart, Phaeiiicura ruticilla. A common summer visiter 

 arriving in April about the same time as the two next succeeding spe- 

 cies. It breeds in Norfolk. 



Stonechat, Saxicola rubicola. Common in summer, and breeds 

 with us. Some of these birds appear to remain in Norfolk through the 

 winter. 



Whinchat, Saxicola rubetra. The whinchat is common in summer, 

 and breeds in the county. It is, however, less numerous than the 

 stonechat. We know an instance of its having been observed in winter.
