Pied Wagtail, Motacilla Yarrellii. Common throughout the year, and breeds with us.
Grey Wagtail, Motacilla boarula. The grey wagtail is not uncom- mon in Norfolk in the early part of the spring, on its way towards its breeding-places in the more northern counties, and it also occurs dur- ing its southward migration in autumn.
Grey-headed Wagtail, Motacilla neglecta. A male bird was killed at Sherringham about May, 1842; another wagtail was procured at the same time, which was probably the female ; but as the person who shot them only preserved the brighter coloured specimen, the latter was unfortunately not identified. A nest, containing four eggs, was taken on the heath at Herringfleet in Suffolk, on the 16th of June, 1842, which probably belonged to a bird of this species. The eggs closely resembled an Q^g of the grey-headed wagtail which had been taken on the continent, and the situation of the nest, and the materials of which it was composed, also corresponded with the descriptions given of the nest of this bird.
Ray's Wagtail, Motacilla flava. Common from March to Septem- ber, and breeds in Norfolk.
Tree Pipit, Anthus arboreus. A rather common summer visitant, aiTiving late in April, and breeds in the county.
Meadow Pipit, Anthus pratensis. Common, and gregarious in winter, and breeds in Norfolk. Its numbers are considerably increased by migratory arrivals in the months of October and November.
Rock Pipit, Anthus petrosus. The rock pipit migrates to our coast in autumn, generally in the month of November, but not in large numbers.
Richard's Pipit, Anthus Ricardi. Three Norfolk specimens of this bird have come under our notice, all of which were procured in the neighbourhood of Yarmouth. Two of these occurred in the month of April, and the third in the month of November.
Shore Lark, Alauda alpestris. An immature male was killed on the beach at Sherringham, in March, 1830.
Skylark, Alauda arvensis. The skylark is common in Norfolk throughout the year, and breeds with us ; large migratory flocks also visit us in the months of October and November on their way south- wards, and in early spring on their return towards the north.
Woodlark, Alauda arborea. The woodlark is not a common bird in Norfolk. It is, however, found in some parts of the county, and we believe breeds with us, and remains throughout the year.
Snow Bunting, Plectrophanes nivalis. Common in winter in the
