ORNITHOLOGICAL REPORT FOR NORFOLK. 131 
Terns on another Broad. Also a pair of Black-necked Grebes 
(M. C. Bird). 
23rd.—W., 3. A Spoonbill seen by Mr. T. A. Coward on 
Easton Broad, Suffolk, and on the 25th the same or another on 
Breydon Broad, where it remained until the 31st (G. Jary). 
This was the first one reported in 1911. 
30th. — Examined, with Mr. C. B. Ticehurst, a number of 
seeds of the common laurel, which had been driven into the 
erevices of the bark of oak-trees by Nuthatches at Keswick, and 
which puzzled us considerably, but were eventually identified 
by the gardener. 
31st.—To-day Mr. N. Tracey was shown a nest of the Common 
Curlew in a fen which lies a few miles from Lynn. The broken 
remains of three eggs were lying in the nest, which a game- 
keeper subsequently explained to Mr. Tracey by saying that he 
had come upon a fox apparently engaged in sucking them. 
JUNE. 
1st.—About this date a Red-footed Falcon, as I am informed 
by Mr. Saunders, was brought into Yarmouth, but I did not 
learn in what parish the shooting of it was perpetrated, or into 
whose possession the bird passed. This was not known as a 
British bird until 1830, when no fewer than five were killed in 
Norfolk, and others have been taken since; the last two occurred 
in April, 1901, and June, 1908. It is even possible that it may 
have bred in the county. 
6th.—N., 2. A Spoonbill in Kimberley Park (the Earl of 
Kimberley), and a few days later it was to be seen on Breydon 
Broad. 
7th.—Two Pigmy Curlews seen at Cley (C. Borrer). 
22nd.—§.W., 4. Two more Spoonbills on Breydon Broad, 
which stayed until the 27th (Jary). 
29th.—A Woodcock’s nest with three eggs at Croxton (B. 
Riviere). 
' JULY. 
8th.—Nesting of the Bittern.—After an arduous search in a 
‘dense reed-bed, higher than @ man’s head, a well-feathered 
young Bittern was found by Miss E. L. Turner and J. Vincent, 
which it was naturally concluded could not be the only one, as
