rathor luauy workiiiy west. Two Swiits hawking for flies on beach, 
amongst many Swallows and Sand Martins with a few House 
Martins. A party of twelve Teal seen, and a good many dark- 
looking Duck passing west, quarter to half mile at sea. The 
number of Larks and I^feadow Pipits greatly augmented by fresh 
arrivals. 
September 10th. Wind light S.E. Very line. Birds scarce, 
and no migratory movement observable. A Peregrine seen over 
the marsh, and inland five Turtle Doves. Several parties of 
Greenshanks in twos and threes, moving about restlessly high up. 
The last Lesser Torn seen this day. 
September 11th. Wind E. early, changing to N.N.E., and 
increasing in force as day advanced. Very line. In early part of 
day a notewoi’thy scarcity of birds. Took a boat half a mile or so 
to sea, but observed olily a few liazorbills and two or throe parties 
of Black Duck going west. In afternoon, several Wheatears and 
a dark-looking Warbler (supposed Bluethroat) passed the boat 
going duo soutli to the beach. On landing, we searched the banks 
towards Salthouse, finding, with the Wheatears just arrived, a good 
many Eodstarts, and obtaining one Bluethroat. This proved the 
most advanced specimen obtained — a veritable Ci/anecnla suecica, 
showing the rod spot fairly well. When dusk, 1 Hushed a greenish 
Warbler out of a bod of Thistles, damaging it so much with largo 
sliot as to spoil it as a specimen : this was unfortunately the 
Icterino Warbler referred to above. Although very immature and 
much mutilated, thanks to ^Messrs. Gurney and Dresser it was 
identified, and shown at the Zoological Society at the same time as 
the Barred Warbler. This, also, is new to the Xorfolk list. All 
the upper parts, including tail, were dingy green; under parts 
yellowish, brighter at the sides ; iris, dark brown ; base of lower 
mandible, yellowish ; rest, horn colour ; legs, bluish-grey. Length 
o| in.; stretch of wings 8} in. ; wing from lle.xure in. ; tarsus 
I in. Sox unascertainable. In general form and colour, the bird 
might pass for a large Willow or dingy Wood Warbler; but the 
shape of the bill, approaching in character that of the Beed 
Warbler, and the blue legs, would at once differentiate it from 
them. 
September 12th. Wind E., turning to X. by noon, and becoming 
very gusty. Very fine. In the early morning, a few Bluethroats
