Probably a number of other species which are always 

 with us have also a migratory race, the members of which 

 leave us in the autumn and return to our islands in spring. 



Appendix III. — List of Winter Visitors 



The following are Winter Visitors to the British 

 Islands, with an indication of their Summer Haunts in 

 the western regions of the Old World, whence they may 

 have come to pass the cold season with us.^ Those 

 marked* are also Resident species in the British Isles. . 



*RooK, Corviis fi-iigilegus. — Scandinavia, Central Europe. 

 *Carrion-Crow, Corvus corone. — Central Europe. 

 *Grey Crow, Corvus comix. — Scandinavia, Russia, Central Europe.

^ A number of the species also spend the summer in Siberia. These 

 Eastern representatives usually seek winter retreats in Southern Asia, the 

 Malay Islands, and even in Australia. Fewer have representatives also in 

 North America, which move southwards to winter quarters in the New World. 

 Some of the Western Siberian birds may find their way to our islands.
