IjLUE-TUROiVTEU AVarbler. AVliilst watcliiug a number ot 
liedstarts along tlie sea-wall on the 3rd September last, my brother 
observed a black-tailed bird which, alter following for some time, 
he secured, finding, to his surprise, a young bird of this species. 
Owing to its immaturity it is not a very striking specimen, the 
throat mark being represented by a somewhat triangular yellowish- 
white blotch, without a trace of colour. The specimen came to 
me in the flesh, and I took the following measurements Lengtli, 
5^ in. ; stretch of wings, 8J in. ; wing from flexure, 2 in. ; 
bill, ^ in. ; tarsus, 1 in. ; middle toe, § in. The legs and form 
generally were very robin-like ; the similarity being also noticed 
by my brother whilst the bird was alive. The body was un- 
fortunately thrown away before I had examined it for sex. 
Sedge AVarbler. This species was particularly numerous, but 
I looked upon them as residents, from the fact that they were often 
singing even in the third week of September, the last being hcaid 
so doing on the 28th. 
ItocK Pipit. In 1880 was first noticed on September 22 nd. 
This year, on 8th August, I feel certain I found this species 
breeding on the Blakeney side of the harbour. I was hiding in 
a ditch on the rough marsh, when I noticed an undoubted liook 
Pipit flitting restlessly to and fro close to me; on observing it 
more closely I could see food in its bill, and that it was evidently 
anxious to feed its young. These avere, probably, hiding near at 
liand, but I failed to discover them or any nest. Mr. Gurney has 
since informed mo there is no authentic record of the nesting of this 
species in Norfolk. I am sorry, therefore, I did not take more 
trouble, and follow the matter up more fully. 
Shore Lark. In the early part of December last year my brother 
was fortunate to fall in with four or five of these birds, and 
obtained two specimens. On every occasion they were found on 
the highest part of the beach, and in the neighbourhood of Salthouso; 
although generally consorting with the Snow Buntings, they soon 
separated from them when followed, their wariness standing in 
marked contrast to the fearlessness of the Buntings. One 
of the specimens came into my hands, and proved to be a young 
male. 
Skveark. Immense (piantitics reached the coast, travelling 
S.S.ANh, on 23rd September, 1880, and following days.
