Although all the above are entitled to be classed as residents, 
yet their numbers vary according to the seasons, some of them, such 
as the Goldcrest, Redpoll, Merlin, Snipe, Woodcock, &c., being 
more numerous in the winter, when they are reinforced by arrivals 
from the north; while others, like the Mistle-thrush, Goldfinch, 
&c., are scarce, comparatively, in the winter, owing to the bulk of 
them having migrated to the south. 
The greater number of the 
clifi birds, too, have left us in the winter, to disperse themselves far
