ORNITHOLOGICAL RECORD FOR NORFOLK. 131 



winged Tern, which one is tempted to think might, like the 

 Spoonbill, establish itself with protection, is not, oddly enough, 

 included in Gatke's ' Birds of Heligoland.' 



13th. — W. Some Manx Shearwaters seen off the beach by 

 Mr. E. Ramm. Very few Black Terns have appeared this year. 



14th. — W. A Greater Shearwater passed along the shore 

 within eighty yards of Mr. Ramm, who was near enough to see 

 the dark brown of the under parts. 



16th. — A small flock of Tree Pipits at Keswick. 



18th. — An Eared Grebe at Cley (H. Pashley), which I saw in 

 the flesh ; very rare in August. 



25th. — Mr. Robert Gurney had a good view of the Greater 

 Shearwater on the Bar, with two Manx Shearwaters. A beautiful 

 white variety of the Sanderling, with a little buff mottling on the 

 back, shot at Heacham, near Hunstanton ; female by dissection. 

 Much too conspicuous an object to escape. 



27th. — Ayoung Turnstone picked up near Cromer Lighthouse, 

 and about the same time the principal, Mr. Argent, caught a 

 Golden Plover ; but little or nothing else visited the light, which 

 revolves too quickly to attract many birds. I have, however, a 

 few notes from lightships, to be given later on. 



30th.— Wind S. 



31st. — Wind S. A nice arrival of Wheatears and Whinchats 

 on the coast, and with them a Barred Warbler and two other 

 birds, which I think were young Bluethroats. This was within a 

 few hundred yards of the spot where the other Barred Warblers 

 were taken in 1884, 1888, and 1894. The grey tone of its back 

 gave it a Shrike-like aspect, as it skulked in Chenopodium, and 

 then doubled back with a somewhat slow and laboured flight. 

 At the same time Mr. Ramm followed a peculiar Bunting, which 

 was probably an Ortolan ; so it is clear that the south wind had 

 brought an arrival of foreigners, but I believe it was very light. 

 Three Black-tailed Godwits were seen on Breydon, and about 

 the same time some Spotted Redshanks (E. Saunders), and 

 other Waders. 



September. 



Prevailing wind S. and W. Gales on four days. 

 1st. — N.N.E. Mr. Pashley observed Redstarts coming off the 

 sea, and a large arrival of Tit Larks.
