466 ENGLISH BIRD LIFE 



Twites and Wheatears begin to flit and twitter 

 around, aroused from their silence by the warning 

 of the coming day. 



As we take our way home on the narrow moun- 

 tain road many birds are singing, and the new 

 hght is slowly spreading over the hills. In a 

 little glen a herd of' deer, startled by our approach, 

 run rapidly up the slope, and looking back. from a 

 long distance we can see them still watching us, 

 their antlered heads standing clearly out from, 

 amidst the bracken.
