aptorial ]\[igraxt.s. 111 January a Kough-legged liuzzartl 
was sliot at Filby on the 7tli, and another at Hanworth, near 
Cromer, on tlie 14th; and on the 18th a Peregiane was seen close 
by at Cunton. On the 28th a live Short-eared Owl was sent mo 
from \aimouth; and on the 31st five were seen on lionghton 
1 loath near Cromer, and tlireo on the 'Warren. Again on the 
34th of February a Short-eared Owl wivs observed by a gamekeeper 
at Northrejips, flying round inside his garden, and dropping down 
every few minutes after mice. The same keeper, on the Otli of 
March, saw a Sparrow Hawk chasing a Short-eared Owl. On the 
/th ot February a young Hen Harrier was shot at Flegg Ilur»h 
and another at Hickling on the 14th; and a Mansli Ibu-rier wa.s 
seen at lianworth on the ISth. A Peregrine Falcon was also seen 
at the same tune and place ; and a young bird was sent up to 
i orwich (no locality) early in the month, and a nearly adult bird 
Irom Gorleston on the 3rd. A Common Pu^zzard was killed at 
I.ethoringsett m February, and a Pough-legged Puzzard at Thornage 
on the 1st of March. Short-eared Owls appeared, singly, at 
Horthrepps on lAlarch 2Gth and April 3rd, and a Puzzard on the 
ISth of April. 
vVn unusual number of Marsh Harriers were seen thus spring 
m the Proad district, and one or two frequented the larger Proads 
throughout the season, but I have reason to believe they did 
not nest, as the Short-eared Owls undoubtedly did. An Osprey 
was seen at Potter Heigham on the 13th of June but from that 
date, excepting the Hobbies’ nests found in Foxley "Wood by 
^fr. 1<. Horgate, already recorded in our ‘Transactions,’ I have 
no other raptorial notes till the month of September, which was 
remarkable for the 
Abuxdaxce of Honev axd Common Buzzards. 
The chief Ornithological feature of the year wivs, undoubtedly, 
the considerable inllux of Honey and Common Buzzards in 
September, along our whole line of coast and adjoining parts of 
Suffolk, simultaneously ; the specimens seen or obtained, occurring 
between the 21st and 31st of the month. From my own notes” 
at the time, from’.Yarmouth and its neighbourhood, chiefly supplied 
to me by 3Ir. G. Smith of the Priory, and from notes made by 
iVIr. Gurney as to examples seen or killed in the Cromer district,
