BUZZARD^ROUGH'LEGGED BUZZARD. 151 
A pair which once nested in Hackwood Park, near 
Basingstoke, is now represented by a specimen in the 
Alton Museum, and a correspondent at Wickham tells 
us of a pair which inhabited that district about sixty- 
years ago. 
Genus — Archibuteo, 
130. Archibuteo lagopits. Rough-legged Buzzard. 
An occasional winter visitor to all parts of the county 
and Isle of Wight. 
Our oldest record is due to a well-known naturalist, the 
late Mr. Jenyns, who reported a specimen from the Isle of 
Wight some time before 1835.^ Bury also records another 
Isle of Wight specimen. 
Wise 2 mentions that " Mr. Rake informs me that 
a specimen was trapped near Fordingbridge, in the summer 
of 1 887. It is, however, more generally noticed later in the 
year." 
The Hart collection contains a male bird, dated 
November 25th, 1875, and Hadfield reported one from 
Ryde in October of the following year.3 
The Fifth Report of the Winchester College Natural 
History Society mentions one shot at Stockbridge in the 
snowy January of 188 1. 
One was trapped at Faccombe, in the north-west 
of the county, about 1881, and was still living in captivity 
there in 1894.
