Winter visitant, irregular both in appearance and numbers, 
sometimes appearing in immense flights. Occasionally 
solitary pairs remain to breed. Has nested at Boynton 
near Bridlington in 1829, and at Bramham, where several 
nests were found in 1840 (Allis). At Plumpton, near 
Harrogate, in July, 1876, I saw two old birds accompanied 
by four young ones. Young birds just from the nest 
have been observed by the keeper at Gilling-in-Ryedale 
(Brigham, MS.).

Accidental visitant from North America, of rare occurrence.

Resident, rather locally distributed, but common. Consider- 
able arrivals occur in the autumn. I have observed that 
the species is most abundant in the immediate vicinity of 
the coast. 
. Emberiza citrinella Z. Yellow Bunting. 
Resident, generally distributed, abundant. Large arrivals are 
observed in autumn, migrating north again in spring, often 
in very large flocks.
