MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 14I 
Several Common Terns arrived on April 22nd, and on the 
next day a Sooty Tern was seen. Some Lesser Terns arrived 
on May 4th. 
On May 6th the watcher counted 196 Godwits and Grey 
Plovers in one flock, many of the former being in their summer 
dress. During the greater part of the month of May there was a 
large number of different Waders on Breydon. On the 15 th 
a Cormorant was seen, and on the 18th some Pigmy Curlews 
(Curlew Sandpipers) and several Turnstones. On the 19th 
a pair of Black-tailed Godwits and on the 23rd a Sabine’s Gull. 
On June 1st a Glossy Ibis was seen in the company of some 
Curlews, but it departed during the night. On August 28th 
a pair of Glossy Ibis’s appeared on Breydon, but they were 
gone by the next day. 
On June 18th two Black Terns were seen. On the 19th 
a brood of ten young Sheld-ducks were seen swimming about ; 
these were probably hatched near Burgh Castle. 
On July 15th an Avocet appeared and remained fill August 
4th. Three more Avocets turned up on August 8th, but after 
stopping for about two hours, flew off to the eastward and were 
not seen again. 
Towards the end of August numbers of Common Terns 
appeared, but although this species, and also the Lesser Tern, 
are noted as having been seen on and off during the summer, 
there is no record of either species having nested in the locality. 
On August 27th, a Spotted Redshank was seen.

The watcher was on duty from 5th April to 17th July. 
The cold weather in June which was so destructive to 
young Partridges appeared to have no effect on the Terns and 
Ringed Plover who nested freely and in increasing numbers. 
The common Tern showed the largest increase, a few eggs of 
the Ringed Plover were taken by Rooks early in May, and 
a gun had to be used to drive them away ; a Flamingo, in good 
plumage, was seen by Dr. C. Plowright on 18th June on 
the preserved area. Altogether the season was a most
