Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Birds of Norfolk, Vol. 1 of 2: With Remarks on Their Habits, Migration, and Local Distribution

Of such occurrences since 1846, records have been made, from time to time, in the pages of the and from these details, together with the communications of local naturalists and a careful analysis of my own note-books for the last sixteen years, I have been enabled to bring down to the present time the history of the Birds of Norfolk.
