ORNITHOLOGICAL NOTES FROM NORFOLK. 115 
31st.—A flock of about ten Shore Larks at a certain 
favourite corner by the sea sheltered from the north-west. This 
spot for years has been very seldom without these winter visitants, 
which have never numbered more than nine or ten. Here they 
stand by choice on the hardest mud, which the Sky Lark never 
seems todo. I have kept two or three Shore Larks for some 
time, and had one which developed a partiality for orange mar- 
malade, being much annoyed by its stickiness, though liking its 
sweetness. 
This month an adult Long-tailed Duck was shot at Wisbeach 
(Bland), and a crippled Pink-footed Goose was picked up.
