Tue Rock Lark, or Rock Pipit, is an interesting, though 
very common species, and another of our true ‘ab origine’ 
birds. 
This hardy species braves the severe cold of the polar 
regions, to which it spreads from the temperate parts of 
Europe. It is well known in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, 
and Greenland; as also in France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, 
Holland, and other more temperate parts of the continent. 
In Orkney and Shetland it is a very abundant species, and 
also is found in the Ferroe Islands. 
It appears to give a preference to those parts of the coast 
which are rocky or hilly, but it is also found, and that in 
plenty, in those parts which are of an _ exactly opposite 
character.
