marshlands. Males arriving " yellow as a guinea," by autumn 

 have assumed a dingy hue. 



Anthus trivialis. Tree-Pipit. — F. C. Has occasionally been 

 taken in market-gardens. Also observed in neighbourhood of 

 Belton. 



A, pratensis. Meadow-Pipit. — C. More numerous in winter 

 than in summer ; frequenting salt marshes. Young birds in 

 autumn often seen catching " sand-flies " at the high-water mark 

 in company with young Saxicola cenanthe. Local, " Titlark." 



A. campestris. Tawny Pipit. — R. A female caught in a 

 clap-net on North Denes, Oct. 7th, 1897. One at Lowestoft, 

 Sept. 2nd, 1889 (Nor. N. S. vol. vi. p. 508). 



A. richardi. Richard's Pipit. — R. Several times taken or 

 shot on North Denes : three respectively in November, 1841 ; 

 April, 1842 ; and April, 1843. Mr. Babington records occur- 

 rences as follows : — One, marshes at Yarmouth, Dec. 26th, 1866 ; 

 another, Dec. 27th ; a third, Dec. 29th. The last occurrence 

 was on Dec. 11th, 1894. 



A. obscurus. Rock-Pipit. — F. C. I have frequently observed 

 this species in autumn on the Bure and Breydon flint-faced walls. 

 Have never seen it beside other than salt water. 



A. rupestris. Scandinavian Rock-Pipit. — R. Mr. Booth 

 secured an example at Horsey in March, 1871 (Nor. N. S. vol. iv. 

 p. 277). 



Oriolus galbula. Golden Oriole. — R. Has rarely put in an 

 appearance in summer. A female killed near Yarmouth, Aug. 1st, 

 1850 ; another, probably the male, seen at the same time (B. of N.). 

 Mr. E. T. Booth ('Catalogue of Birds') says he had seen nest 

 and eggs in Norfolk. I have some recollection of a pair 

 attempting to nest near Ormesby in the early eighties. One seen 

 at Burgh Castle, May, 1883. 



Lanius excubitor. Great Grey Shrike. — R. R. Visits us 

 rarely in late autumn. Three or four met with January and 

 February, 1891. One I kept alive, quickly became tame, taking 

 his bath very soon after capture. 



L. minor. Lesser Grey Shrike. — R. One shot in the spring 

 of 1869 ; another taken in May, 1875. Both of them adults. 

 (Nor. N.S.). 



L. collurio. Red-backed Shrike. — R. R. Nested on North
