Sxow Bunting. In tlio ‘ Zoologist’ for 1880 (p. 301), is a notice 
of a single bird of this species having been seen on Cromer beach 
as late as the 1 0th of l\Iay ; flying about, at the time, in company 
with a common Sparrow. 
June and July. 
Spoonbills. Three of these conspicuous, and of course per- 
secuted, birds were seen on Breydon about the 12th of last month, 
and one appeared as late as the first week in July. All these, 
apparently, escaped the gunners and some six or eight, altogether, 
are said to have visited that neighbourhood at different times in the 
spring and summer. 
Jack Snipe in June. Mr. C. H. Bird, of Somerton, near 
Yarmouth, informed me that Mr. G. Boult, Jun., saw a Jack Snipe 
this year at Winterton, on the 2Gth of June; and that he and 
]\Ir. Boult together, saw three Jack Snipes, and shot one, in the 
Potter Heigham marshes on the IGth of July, 1879. I know of 
more than one instance of single birds having been met with in 
Noi'folk in June. 
Starling and Skylark varieties. On the 7th of July, 
!Mr. J. H. Gurney, Jun., saw a cream-coloured Starling at 
Ilethersett, near Norwich, with a flock of some five or six others 
in the usual plumage ; and on the previous day at Northrepps, an 
exceedingly light-coloured Skylark, almost isabclline in tint. 
Pochard. l\Ir. A. Patterson, of Yarmouth states, in the 
‘Eastern Daily Press’ of July 16th, that ho had seen, that day, 
in a poulterer’s shop, a Pochard in (juite an immature state of 
plumage which had been killed at Martham. 
Short-eared Owl. As an evidence of this species still nesting 
in Norfolk, I can record an immature bird, with young feathers on 
the head, as shot at Dilham about the 16th of July. Mr. M. C. II. 
Bird, of Somerton, also informs me that a pair bred at Winterton 
in 1879 and another pair, at Somerton, in the summer of this year. 
Hawfinch. A young bird in its nestling jihimagc was killed at 
Forncett on the 9th, and an old one was shot from a cherry tree, at 
Eundcnhall, on the 14th.
