Obituary. We have to record, with regret, the death during the year of P. A. Banks. While living at Sudbourne he made a valuable and expert study of the bird life of the area lying between the Rivers Aide and Deben. Acknowledgements. We are indebted as usual to the R.S.P.B., the Lowestoft Field Club, and the Dingle Bird Club for providing records from their logs. R. P. Bagnall-Oakeley and the Editors of the Norfolk Bird Report and the Cambridge Bird Club Report kindly passed on relevant records and correspondence. P. J. Makepeace again produced the black and white vignettes. Records for 1973 should be sent as usual to the Editor at Härtest Place, Bury St. Edmunds (telephone Härtest 224) by the end of January next. Earlier Sufifolk Bird Reports. A few back numbers for 1961, 1963, 1966, 1967, 1969, 1970, and 1971 are still available from the Editor. The Year in Retrospect The high-light of a rather uneventful year was probably the successful breeding of two pairs of black-tailed godwits. This augers well for the re-establishment of the species in the county.
