LIST OF NORFOLK BIRDS. 
79. Grey Wagtail {Motacilla sulphur ea). 
The Grey Wagtail is most often met with in the autumn, but 
]\Ir. Stevenson has a good specimen in breeding plumage, shot at 
Boyland. It is decidedly rare about Cromer and in the Broad district, 
but is more frequent in some parts of Norfolk, particularly on the 
river at Norwich and Carrow. At Heigham and at Keswick several 
were observed in January, 1870 (‘Zoologist,’ 1870, p. 2362). — G. 
80. Grey-headed Wagtail {Motacilla flava). 
As a summer, or rather as a spring, visitant, tliis species has been 
shot in about five instances, and Mr. E. T. Booth mentions watch- 
ing some on the edge of Breydon Broad. 
[4. Grey-capped Wagtail {Motacilla cinereicapilla). 
Tlie Grey-capped Wagtail is included in this list on the 
authority of a specimen in my father’s collection, said to 
have been killed at Sheringham in 1842 (Trans. Norfolk 
and Norwich Nat. Soc. vol. ii. p. 226). He believes he 
bought it of the late Mr. Sayer the birdstuffer, who is 
always considered to have been a very truthful man, and 
the bird certainly has the appearance of having been 
mounted from the flesh. It exactly resembles Gould’s 
figure of one killed in Cornwall (‘ Birds of Great 
Britain,’ vol. iii. plate v.), which circumstance led to 
its identification. — G.] 
81. Yellow VI' miMh {Afotacilla rail). 
A summer migrant, generally distributed ; affecting low-lying 
or marshy locahties. 
82. Tree Pipit {Anthus trivialis). 
A summer migrant, common in wooded districts, where it takes 
the place of the next species. 
83. Meadow Pipit {Anthus pratensis). 
Common, receiving additions in autumn. 
84. Pock Pipit {Anthus obscurus). 
Conhned to the coast. The Pock Pipit is frequently shot or 
netted at Yarmouth. j\Ir. F. D, Power suspects it of having 
nested in 1880 at Blakeney (Trans. Norfolk and Norwich Nat. Soc. 
vol. iii. p. 346), where it is sometimes very abundant in the 
autumn {cf. ‘Zoologist,’ 1885, p. 173).
