bank of Broydon Broad ; and besides these, it is certain that at least 
a score more were seen at Blakeney by Mr. Power, which passed 
on in safety. Prom Mr. Power’s Ornithological Journal, which 
lie has lent me for the use of this paper, I make the following 
extracts; premising, that Blakeney and the adjoining parish of 
Cley comprehend extensive mud-flats, and many tempting sand-hills 
covered with stunted herbage, and Marram-grass, Sea-lavender and 
Yellow Poppy, reaching for about a mile in a kind of peninsula, — a 
most temptmg locality for small birds, and annually frequented by 
Bedstarts and other Insessores in September. 
Mr. Power’s Ornithological Journal : — 
“ September 13th. Wind light N. Yellow Wagtails and Wheatears 
numerous. 
September 14th. Wind light E. Very fine. Blue-throated Warbler, 
eight or ten seen in the short cover, near beach. Four obtained, 
three males and one female. All birds of the year. Redstarts 
in about the same numbers, witli a few Tree Pipits, one Robin, 
many Wheatears, and two Common Whitethroats. 
September 15th. Wind N.N.W., light. First Grey Wagtail observed. 
Around the furthest sand-hill {i.e. the westernmost) found per- 
haps two dozen Bluethroats, easily got at, and examined here. 
Took three more (two males and one female, all immature like 
the preceding specimens), with Wheatears, a few Redstarts, 
one Lesser Whitethroat, one Chifl'chaff, one Goldcrest, two or 
three Tree Sparrows, and two Rock Pipits seen. Two flocks 
of Larks passed, going west. 
September 17th. Wind N.E. Searched the sand-hills, but saw no 
Bluethroats. One Tree Pipit, one Stonechat, and a number of 
Black-headed Buntings. 
September 18th. Wind stiff' S., becoming E S.E. during the day. 
Meadow Pipits arrived in numbers. 
September 19th. Wind light S.E. 
September 20th. Wind stiff N. Swallows and Martins passing 
south-west. 
September 21st. Wind W. A number of Thrushes. Fresh appear- 
ance of Redstarts. Sedge Warbler. 
September 22nd. Wind N.N.E. First Snow Bunting. Several 
Martins observed. On the further sand-hills found two Blue- 
throats, and bagged both, immature male and female, with one 
Redstart, one Robin, and one Chiffchaff.” 
From these precise memoranda it would seem that the Blue- 
throats came in just the sort of company they might have been 
expected in ; viz., with Tree Pipits, Wheatears, Yellow Wagtails,
