which, after it was first disturbed, it was seen to enter seven 
or eight times. 
A good many Short-eared Owls also put in an appearance during 
this month, and some, I understood, late in August. On the 15th 
a Peregrine was seen at Lower Heigham, Hying direct for the city. 
Several IMarsh Harriers were killed about Yarmouth on or about 
the 24th witli the Luzzards ; and a “ blue-and-red Hawk,’' seen 
near the avenue at Horthrepps on the same day, was probably an 
adult male Montagu’s Harrier. On the 26th an adult female 
I’eregrine was .shot at Llakeney. 
On the 13th of October four large Hawks, possibly Buzzards, were 
seen at Jforthrepps, apparently lighting in the air; the last, 
apparently, of the invading host. On the 10th an Osprey was shot 
at Fhtcham, a Peregrine an.l an immature Hobby somewhere in the 
county on the 8th, and an immature JMarsh Harrier at Yarmouth 
on the 15th. 1 robably the first Jlerlin of the season was shot 
from Breydon Wall on the 7th of November ; and a Bam Owl, 
caught by a boy in a fence at Scratby, on the coast, was no doubt a 
migrant ; it was dark in tint and nuich spotted. The first Bough- 
legged Buzzard of this winter put in an appearance at Somerton on 
the oth, and another was shot at Flegg Burgh, also near Yarmouth, 
on the 22nd, and one close by at Fritton, in Suffolk, on the 15th; 
and an adult female lien Harrier at Bollesby on the 26th. 
Iho record of the year, raptorially, closed with the death of a 
line young Sea Eagle (of course proclaimed as a Golden Eagle till 
satisfactorily identified), which was shot early in December, between 
Sedgeford and Holme-next-the-Sea, close to Hunstanton. One of 
these birds frequented for some days the park and lake at 
Kimberley in the autumn, but, thanks to the protection of the 
noble propnetor of the estate, remained unmolested till it volun- 
tarily took its departure. 
Migratory Waders. The intense frost and deep snow-drifts 
roni the middle to near the end of January were not favourable 
for Waders on Breydon, or any other part of the coast. Even 
Dunlins were scarce, and a few Sanderliiigs, Knots, and Golden 
1 lover, with an occasional Godwit or two, were about all that 
the gunners brought in ; but during the temfic gale on our 
ca.st coast on tlie 18th, swarms of Snipe and Dunlin, as well
