Hooded Crow. Two were seen at Horthrepps on the 31st, 
Avhicli fact, coupled witli the appearance, as before stated, in the 
same locality of one in July, seems to indicate nesting. 
Swift. Some still seen over the “Close” at Norwich on 
the 28th. 
September. 
House Martin. These birds, by no means plentiful this season 
in and around Norwich, began to gather together by the riverside 
at Hcigham about the middle of the month, when .some eighty or 
one hundred were seen together. 
Spotted Crake. An unusual number of this species were shot 
in our marshes during this month. 
Kentish Plover. One of these Plovers, by no means common 
on our coast, u-as killed on Preydou on the 14th, and two others 
on the 24th and 25th, the latter on the beach. I also heard of one 
from the same locality, immature, in August. 
Grey Shrike. One seen about the middle of the month on the 
Denes at rarmouth. 
Ped-necked Phalarope. One example was shot on Breydon on 
the 4th; and another on the 29th at Hopton, swimming in a pond, 
with Ducks, close to the road. Both immature. 
Grey Lag-geese. Several flocks of this species were seen on 
Biejdon on the 24th and 25th. Two of them were shot, and one 
sent to mo. 
Blue-throated Warbler. Avery immature specimen was shot 
at Cley by Mr. Power on the 3rtl of September.* 
Smew. One shot at Filby this month. 
Glossy Ibis. :Mr. Power’s belief that he saw a bird of this kind 
at Cley, on the Gth, was no doubt well founded, as a male bird, 
in the possession of Mr. George Cresswell, was killed on the 
"W olferton marshes near Lynn on the IGth. Others were seen at 
the same time, and a second example was said to have been shot. 
This occurrence was recorded by Mr. Southwell in the ‘ Zoologist ’ 
for 1881 (p. 4G9), and three others were subsequently recorded 
* See Mr. Power’s notes from Cley {antea p. 345).
