784 
shot on Breydon on the 4th, and another was seen at the same 
time and on the same date exactly on which a specimen was killed 
there in 1881. There was somewhat a paucity of migratory 
AYaders at Yarmouth early in the month, though, including Knots, 
Pigmy Curlews, and Golden Plovers (still with much black on the 
breast), several Greenshanks and more than usual of that species. 
Terns, both Common and Lesser, were leaving about this time, 
liedstarts were still seen on the coast about Yarmouth late in the 
month, as well as many Golden-crested Wrens; and Siskins had 
arrived at Overstrand on the 18th, and Caistor Denes on the 20th. 
Kumbers of Titmice, Great, Blue, Marsh, and Long-tailed, in 
plantations near the sea ; also a good many Kingfishers about 
Breydon water, of Avhich, I regret to say, ten or twelve were shot, 
whether migrant or resident. 
Close to the city I saw two Spotted Flycatchers on the 25th ; 
and, on the same date, several young House Martins were still 
being fed in their nests ; but on no occasion this autumn did I 
witness, as in previous years, the congregating of these birds, 
old and young, in large numbers, on the lofty roof of the chapel 
opposite my house. 
On the 21st a Hoopoe was killed near Barton, and another 
specimen, some time this month, at Sheringham. 
Towards the end of September there seems to have been a very 
jnixed assortment of Waders at Yarmouth; and, in a list sent me 
by Mr. G. Smith of birds shot on Breydon and on the beach 
between the 16th and the 25th, I find Little Stint, Eeove, Oyster- 
catcher, Greenshank, Dunlin, Sanderling, Bar and Black-tailed 
Godwit, Green Sandpiper, Purple Sandpiper, Turnstone, Curlew, 
and Golden Plover. 
A single Snow Bunting was seen on the beach as early as 
September 16th. 
Some Honey Buzzards appear to have arrived on the coast in 
the last week of September, as one was trapped at Northrepps on 
the 30th, and another, I understand, occurred at Flegg-Burgh near 
the same time, and at Bound, near Lowestoft, a third (all immature) 
about the 26th. 
On the 3rd of October Snow Buntings aiipearcd in considerable 
numbers on the Denes at Yarmouth, where about a score were
