FAUNA AND FLORA OF NORFOLK : BIRDS. 
Icterine Warbler. 
On the 5th September, 1899, an immature Icterine Warbler, 
the fourth which has been obtained in Norfolk, was shot between 
Wells and Cromer by Mr. E. C. Arnold. Both this and the 
Buff-breasted Sandpiper recorded below were seen by the writer, 
by the kindness of Mr. Arnold. Another Icterine Warbler 
occurred at Blakeney on September 18th, 1903. 
Aquatic Warbler. 
Mr. Gunn shot one of these birds on the 9th September, 1902, 
at Blakeney, in the same place and almost on the same day 
(8th September) as he met with a previous specimen in 1896. 
Another was obtained by him in the same locality on September 
18 th, 1903. 
Wax wing. 
Several were seen in Norfolk towards the end of November, 1901, 
but the birds passed on without making a stay with us. There 
was another visitation in the winter of 1903, which assumed con- 
siderable proportions, reports of seventy being handed in, including 
what occurred in the north of Suffolk. 
Lapland Bunting. 
On October 14th, 1899, a Lapland Bunting was taken on the 
North Genes at Yarmouth. — A. Patterson. 
Magpie. 
This is a rare bird taken as a whole in Norfolk, being most 
frequently found in the North-west part of the county. On 
February 4th, 1902, one was seen at Crostwick, and on the 6th 
of the same month two others at Keswick, the first I ever 
remember having been seen there. — J. H. G. 
Nutcracker. 
For a week in the early part of May, 1899, a Nutcracker was 
observed by Mr. Thomas Baring, in a plantation of tall, dark Fir 
trees near Thetford ; it is believed to have escaped molestation. 
Hoopoe. 
On 18th September, 1899, Mr. Cole received a Hoopoe which had 
been killed at Skeyton. One was seen on 26th September, 1902, 
and another September 1st, 1903, at Mautby.
