Birds. 



being evidently not sufficiently feathered to have crossed the sea, may 

 fairly be supposed to have been hatched near the spot where it was 

 killed. 



Young of the Wood Sandpiper. 



Common Sandpiper, Totanus hypoleucos. Not uncommon on our 

 coast in autumn and early spring, and also occurs in summer, but we 

 know no well authenticated instance of its breeding in the county. It 

 generally retires further south in severe weather. 



Spotted Sandpiper, Totanus macularius. An example was killed 

 at Run ton near Cromer, September 26th, 1839 ; the only instance we 

 know of the occurrence of this species in Norfolk. 



Greenshank, Totanus glottis. Occurs in spring, leaving us about 

 the end of May, and is again found in the months of September and 

 October, on its return from its breeding grounds ; but at neither sea- 

 son in large numbers.
