More numerous than either of the two last. It arrives about the same time.
Sylvia sibilatrix [The Wood Wren].
Very rare. It is only seen at intervals, though it is supposed to breed here.
Sylvia trochilus [The Willow Wren].
Common throughout the whole county. It is found in plantations, whins, brooms, and in gardens and orchards. It generally nests on the ground. It is a very lively songster.
Sylvia rufa [The Chiffchaff].
The only bird of this kind that I have seen, is one that I took myself in the Duff House policies.
Regulus cristatus [The Golden-crested Regulus or Wren].
Wherever there are suitable woods, this bird is to be found among us in pretty fair numbers.
