Eider Duck. An imuiaturc female shot at Salthousc in the 
first week of December. 
Smeavs. Two adult females were shot on Dreydon on the 8th; 
and two more about the 28th. 
Lesser Sroited Woodpecker. Another example of this 
small Woodpecker Avas shot from the upper branches of a tall oak 
on the 16th. 
Eitterk. One shot at Earton on the 5th. 
Pied Wagtail, varietal An unusual variety of this bird, 
having Avhite feathers on the neck and Aving-coverts, Avas shoAvn 
me on the 6th. 
Shore Larks. Mr. J. H. Gurney, jun., shot four at Elakeney 
on the 12th, and saAv others. Mo longer a rarity on our coast. 
Migratorv Waders. On the 17th of March a Golden PloA^er, 
in nearly full breeding dress, Avas killed at Fundenhall. On the 
14th of Ajiril a Green Sandpijier Avas shot at KesAvick. Three 
Kentish Plovers, a male and Iavo females, Avere shot on Ereydon 
betAveen the 23rd and 26th of April. I heard also of tAvo 
Spoonbills being seen on Ereydon, early in the summer, one of 
Avhich Avas said to have been shot and sent to MorAvich. There 
Avere but fcAv GodAvils at Yarmouth in May, and little else AA^orth 
notice. A Green Sandpiper Avas observed in the neighbourhood 
of Holt, on the 5th of June; and on the 6th three Sjjoonbills Avere 
seen near the lifeboat house at Elakeney, feeding by the Avater’s 
edge ; and the fact is Avorthy of record that, although discovered 
and Avatched for some time through a glass by tAvo local bird- 
stufiers, the birds remained unmolested, and the recent Act 
respected. At Yarmouth, the inducements held out to the 
gunners to secure all rarities AV'ould have insured their destruction. 
The man Avho breaks the law gets the best of it, at present. 
On the 20th of June, at Hunstanton, I saAV, as the tide began 
to fall, a considerable flock of Turnstones, apparentlj^ in nearly full 
summer plumage, busily feeding on the first portions of rock 
exposed above Avater. On the sands also Avcrc tAvo birds Avhicli I 
believe to have been Knots, and several Oyster-catchers by the 
Avatcr’s edge, but no Sanderlings or Dunlins. A single Turn- 
stone Avas also seen on the edge of a sand-bank in Wells Harbour 
on the 21st.
