Hereford. The Welsh for Nightingale 
is Eos. 
BLACKCAP, Sylvia atricapilla. 
Fairly common. It used to breed in 
my garden at Vennyvach, near Brecon, 
every year. The Welsh is V Penloyn. 
GARDEN WARBLER, Sylvia hortensis. 
Uncommon, but I think increasing. I 
have known of its nest and eggs being 
taken on several occasions. A _ pair 
nested behind Captain Swainson’s house, 
Brecon, in June, 1891. Welsh, Canwr 
yr ardd. 
GRASSHOPPER WARBLER, 
Salicaria locustella 
Rather rare but increasing. I have 
heard it many times in the still summer 
evenings. A nest and five eggs were 
taken by Captain Swainson at Vennyfach, 
29th May, 1896, and sent to Mr. Harting 
for identification. I believe they are 
now in the Natural History Museum. 
He has also taken the eggs on other 
occasions.
