Parus major [The Great Titmouse],
Parus cæruleus [The Blue Titmouse],
Parus ater [The Cole Titmouse], and
Parus caudatus [The Long-tailed Titmouse].
These birds all exist in the county in about equal numbers. It is rather an interesting and pleasant sight, and one which I have often witnessed, to see small bands of these lively, active little birds, together with the goldcrests and creepers, all in company, foraging about amongst the leafy trees in winter; the tits on the branches, the creepers on the trunk, and, if there is no snow on the ground, the goldcrests generally lower down, near about the roots. All is life, bustle, and animation, each cheering the other with its tiny note. See [p. 69].
Parus palustris [The Marsh Titmouse].
This bird is very seldom seen among us.
Parus cristatus [The Crested Titmouse].
This rare British Tit is an inhabitant of the higher and middle districts of the county, where it breeds occasionally.
Bombycilla garrula [The Waxwing].
