574 MR. w - G - CLARKE ON BRECKLAND CHARACTERISTICS. 
for several subsequent years three pairs nested on a stone- 
covered “ breck ” on Roudham Heath, adjoining Peddar’s 
Way. When this land was cultivated once more they 
apparently changed their nesting-site to East Wretham Heath, 
a mile westward, not far from Langmere. Should the “ breck ’ 
once more go out of cultivation, they would not improbably 
return thither on account of the greater protection afforded 
to their eggs by a stone-covered area, than by ancient heath- 
land. I have noticed a similar preference on Thetford Warren, 
on the Spectacle Hangers, Santon Downham, and on Santon 
Square and “ Breck.” They also nest on Lakenheath, Stan- 
ford and Wangford Warrens, and Thetford, Santon Downham, 
Wretham and Icklingham Heaths, on Cranberry, Great 
Hockham, and in the Nar valley near Westacre. 
I have prepared a list of the Norfolk and Suffolk heaths 
on which coast plants, insects, or birds have been found. 
There are eleven in Norfolk, on 8 of which coast plants have 
been found, on 5 coast insects, and on 5 the Ringed Plover 
nests. Of the Suffolk heaths there are 14, and on 13 of these 
coast plants grow, on 6 coast insects have been found, and 
on 8 the Ringed Plover has been known to nest. On 5 heaths 
coast plants, birds, and insects have all been recorded. 
The following list by showing what is already known on the 
subject may lead to further discoveries.
