Nightjar ... 
12th. 
“ The same birds, whose regularity of appearance was noted for the month of April, 
have been seen regularly during May, with the exception of the Great, Blue, Coal, and 
Long-tailed Titmouse, the Green Woodpecker, Nuthatch, and Wren, and tlie addition 
of the Meadow-Pipit and Stock-Dove, and, since their arrival, the Si)otted Flycatcher 
and Martin. 
“A female Dunlin in summer nlumage was shot by myself on the 19tli, on Thetford 
Warren ; a female Greater Spotted Woodpecker was cauglit in a trap baited with an egg, 
and set for the purpose of catching a Jay, on the 2()th : from the appearance of its 
breast, it had evidently been sitting. On the same day 1 saw seven Curlews ( Numenius 
arguata) flying within gun-shot of the ground, and 'towards Elden Warren. On the 
24th I found a nest of the Garden Warbler with four fresh eggs. — E.N.”
