AUTUMN MIGRATION ON THE NORFOLK COAST. 771 
I am not aware of any record of Starlings leaving the 
Norfolk coast during the autumn, and it is a movement which 
I think requires further investigation. 
In the afternoon, while driving along the road near Horsey, 
1 came across an unusually large flock of Reed Buntings, the 
rough herbage and hedge beside the road being full of them, 
whilst numbers were sitting on the telegraph wires. 
October 13th. Palling. — Very light S. wind. Sky- 
larks were coming in from the sea, in small straggling flocks, 
all the early part of the morning. I watched these flocks 
through glasses as they passed inland, and they all settled upon 
the ground about 300 yards from the shore. During the morn- 
ing two Redwings, a few parties of Rooks, and one of Hooded 
Crows also came in. 
Out of three flocks of Rooks, whose course I followed with 
the glasses, one went down upon a field about a quarter of a 
mile inland, whilst the other two passed straight on out of sight. 
From 6 a.m. till 9 o’clock a very large southward coasting 
movement took place ; Linnets and Greenfinches, a few Gold- 
finches and Reed Buntings, and, I think, Yellow Hammers 
were passing in flocks along the sand-hills almost continuously. 
October 14th. Palling. — Very light S. wind. Another 
great southward coasting movement of Linnets and Green- 
finches took place during the early morning, ceasing at 9 o’clock. 
Soon afterwards the hedge which runs behind the sand hills at 
Waxham was full of Linnets, Greenfinches, Reed Buntings 
and Yellow Hammers. A Martin passed close to me, flying 
south along the sand-hills, and a few Skylarks and one flock of 
Starlings came in from the sea. 
October 15th. Cley.— Wind W.N.W., fresh. A few 
Skylarks were seen coasting west along Cley during the early 
morning. 
Later in the day I came upon a small flock of Shorelarks at 
Blakeney Point. 
OCTOBER 17th- — A Wheatear at Blakeney Point. 
October 21st. Hunstanton.— Falling glass, rain, and 
S.W. wind. A large migration of Skylarks, Starlings and
