The 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 Grreenland; as also in France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, 

 Holland, and other more temperate parts of the continent. 

 In Orkney and Shetland it is a very abmidant 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.
