1921 .] Birds of Alcudia , Majorca . 
162. Egretta garzetta. Little Egret. 
Observed by v. Jordans. 
163. Ardeola ibis. Buff-backed Heron. 
On 12 January, 1920, one of these birds flew into the 
Albufera and settled among some cattle grazing in a shallow 
part; it was evidently a stranger, as the cattle were alarmed 
at its appearance ; but it did not remain long before con¬ 
tinuing its flight southwards. 
Not included in v. Jordans' list for Majorca. 
164. Ardeola ralloides. Squacco Heron. 
Yon Jordans quotes Barcelo. 
165. Nycticorax nycticorax. Night Heron. 
On 24 March, 1921, I disturbed a party of these birds 
among the pine-woods between the Albufera and Alcudia 
Bay. I came across them frequently afterwards in the same 
woods up to the end of May, and quite expect they nested 
in the neighbourhood. 
Included by v. Jordans on Homeyer’s authority. 
166. Botaurus stellaris. Bittern. 
A common resident in the Albufera, where its “booming” 
may be heard, both by day and night, at most seasons of the 
year. It occasionally strays into the adjacent lagoons, where 
I have seen specimens shot. 
Obtained by v. Jordans.
