1310 Birds. 



Pied Wagtail, Motacilla Yarrellii. Common throughout the year, 

 and breeds with us. 



Grey Wagtail, Motacilla boarula. The grey wagtail is not uncom- 

 mon in Norfolk in the early part of the spring, on its way towards its 

 breeding-places in the more northern counties, and it also occurs dur- 

 ing its southward migration in autumn. 



Grey-headed Wagtail, Motacilla neglecta. A male bird was killed 

 at Sherringham about May, 1842; another wagtail was procured at 

 the same time, which was probably the female ; but as the person who 

 shot them only preserved the brighter coloured specimen, the latter 

 was unfortunately not identified. A nest, containing four eggs, was 

 taken on the heath at Herringfleet in Suffolk, on the 16th of June, 

 1842, which probably belonged to a bird of this species. The eggs 

 closely resembled an egg of the grey-headed w r agtail which had been 

 taken on the continent, and the situation of the nest, and the materials 

 of which it was composed, also corresponded with the descriptions 

 given of the nest of this bird. 



Ray's Wagtail, Motacilla Jlava. Common from March to Septem- 

 ber, and breeds in Norfolk. 



Tree Pipit, Anthus arboreus. A rather common summer visitant, 

 arriving late in April, and breeds in the county. 



Meadow Pipit, Anthus pratensis. Common, and gregarious in 

 winter, and breeds in Norfolk. Its numbers are considerably increased 

 by migratory arrivals in the months of October and November. 



Rock Pipit, Anthus petrosus. The rock pipit migrates to our coast 

 in autumn, generally in the month of November, but not in large 

 numbers. 



Richard's Pipit, Anthus Ricardi. Three Norfolk specimens of this 

 bird have come under our notice, all of which were procured in the 

 neighbourhood of Yarmouth. Two of these occurred in the month of 

 April, and the third in the month of November. 



Shore Lark, Alauda alpestris. An immature male was killed on 

 the beach at Sherringham, in March, 1830. 



Skylark, Alauda arvensis. The skylark is common in Norfolk 

 throughout the year, and breeds with us ; large migratory flocks also 

 visit us in the months of October and November on their way south- 

 wards, and in early spring on their return towards the north. 



Woodlark, Alauda arborea. The woodlark is not a common bird 

 in Norfolk. It is, however, found in some parts of the county, and 

 we believe breeds with us, and remains throughout the year. 



Snow Bunting, Plectrophanes nivalis. Common in winter in the
