64. — Golden Plover (Charadrius Pluvialis). 



A winter visitor, but I have only seen three in " The 

 Cedars' " grounds. They flew over " West Lodge," from 

 Granville Park way, on 3rd May, 1901. 



65. — Lapwing (Vanellus Vulgaris). 



On 4th November, 1900, I saw a flock of twenty-one fly 

 over " West Lodge " at 9 a.m. 



66. — Woodcock (Scolopax Rusticula). 



I once saw a Woodcock down at " The Cedars' " pond. 

 Being evidently a wounded bird, Frank Penn shot it, and I have 

 it now in my collection. 



On the 14th October, 1902, we were playing hockey on " The 

 Cedars' " ground, and Frank Sutton saw one fly right over our 

 heads. He is a keen sportsman, and was quite certain of his 

 bird. 



67. — Common Sandpiper (Totamis Hypoleucus). 



An occasional visitor to " The Cedars' " pond. I saw a 

 couple there on 29th April, 1899, and Alfred Penn shot one 

 another time that I have now. 



68. — Common Gull (Lams Ccrnus). 



On 19th August, 1886, a company of twelve flew solemnly 

 over " West Lodge." 



69. — Little Grebe (Podicipes Nigricollis). 



On 1st April, 1894, a gardener brought me a dead specimen 

 that he had picked up in the orchard at " The Cedars." It had 

 a hole in it, as if some bird of prey (perhaps a Peregrine, our 

 friend of 22nd March, 1896) had struck it, flown off with it, and 

 dropped it. 



They have been reported at " The Cedars' " pond.
