(In his "Diary" he mentions this occurrence under the 
date January 26th, 1824.) 
The next year, during the tremendous gales from the 
west, a flock of about eighty appeared near the same place, 
and two were killed. Wise mentions a specimen killed 
on the Avon, near Bicton Mill, in February, 1855.
