132 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



was seen at Blakeney Point by Mr. G. A. Hamond, flying with 

 other Terns, but apparently mateless, though Pinchin afterwards 

 said it paired with a Common Tern, and he considers that he 

 found their nest. It was subsequently seen by several other 

 people, and remained about until July 3lst, if not longer, and no 

 doubt at all was entertained as to its identity. It is also reported 

 to have been seen at Wells, where a pair are known to have taken 

 up their abode in 1897 (Norf. and Norw. Trans, vi. p. 512) ; it is 

 possible that Sterna dougalli is an annual visitor.

 Oakley Park ('Daily Press') ; fivef picked up at Keswick; others 

 at Wells.

June. 

 1st. — Spoonbill on Breydon (Dye). 

 5th. — Nuthatch feeding its young on moths. 

 19th.— Grey Crow at Hickling (Bird). 

 20th. — A pair of Shovelers on Breydon Broad (Jary).

July. 



Mr. Cremer informs me that an adult Gannet was picked up 

 at Runton about the beginning of July — an unusual season for it 

 — and lived a fortnight on his pond. Runton is on the coast. 



5th. — Three Snipe's eggs at Keswick, the female on them, the 

 male a few yards off. 



24th. — W., strong. A Caspian Tern seen on Breydon Broad 

 by G. Jary, as already announced (Zool. 1902, p. 391). The 

 wind the day before was N.E., day fine, and Mr. Jary remarked 

 a number of Waders about. It was almost exactly at this time 

 last year that a Caspian Tern appeared, possibly the same in- 

 dividual, and that also came with a W. wind following upon N.E. 



28th. — Woodcock! picked up at Northrepps. 



August. 



18th. — Various species beginning to collect for migration. 



Large flocks of young Mistle-Thrushes in the turnip-fields, and 



the usual young Redstarts and Pied Wagtails on lawns ; Swallows 



assembling on houses, and flocks of "brown" Starlings upon
