NOTES FROM YARMOUTH. 
4 67 
Norwegian Lobsters {Nephrops norvegicus ) were on sale in 
good numbers all the summer and met with very ready 
purchasers. 
On July 30th a very fine Megrim, came to hand from a 
shrimper, and a 10-inch Lemon Sole ( Solea lascaris) on 
August 8th. 
Several Little Terns feeding their young ones on the Breydon 
Hats. First and second weeks in August. 
August 20th. A Spoonbill on Marshes. 
August 29th. The largest “ show ” of birds on Breydon 
I ever saw at one time. Among them I noted : 3,000 Gulls ; 
many Little Terns; Common Sandpipers; Godwits, Knots, 
Curlew-Sandpipers, Dunlins, Herons, Curlews, Ringed Plovers, 
Redshanks and Greenshanks. 
On same date I observed two Redshanks deliberately alight 
in deep water and start swimming. 
August 29th. Saw a “ Red ” Cod, about 20 inches in 
length ; the only other one, so distinguished. I saw on Christmas 
Eve, 1890. 
September 3rd. Four Glossy Ibises on Breydon. Wind 
south ; fearfully hot.

Young, making ready to go up Breydon in a considerable 
state of excitement. He informed me he had seen four Glossy 
Ibises, and “ meant, if possible, to have a slap at them ! ” 
Instead, he fell in with thirteen ducks which he fired into 
with telling effect, recovering nine, killed and wounded. 
The birds appeared tired and tame on arrival, but the cripples 
gave him an arduous half-hour’s retrieving. Two wounded 
birds reached the marshes and were afterwards discovered 
ind captured, and were in both cases eaten ( vide ‘ Zoologist.’ 
}ct., 1906, p. 394-5). Young ate one badly mauled bird, 
md sold eight to Saunders, the stuffer. I saw all these birds, 
■ither in the flesh or in the skin ; they were Red Crested 
'Vhistling Ducks ( Fuligula ferina). One 1 ate was exceed- 
ngly well tasted. Of the eight birds only two were females ; 
nd none were in adult plumage. 
On September 8th two others were shot at Hickling. The
