Genus IX. SYLVIA. Lath, 
S. Phragmitis, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p. 189. 
SEDGE-WARBLER.—This and all the other species of this genus, 
with the exception of the Redbreast (S. Rubecula,) are birds of 
passage, appearing with us in the spring and departing either 
before or at the approach of autumn. The Sedge-warbler is 
first seen the last week in April. It is very plentiful throughout 
the fens and low grounds of Cambridgeshire, especially where 
there are osiers and other covert, in which situations it remains 
closely concealed, rarely exposing itself to view. The nest is 
suspended at a small height from the ground between the stems 
of the Arundo Phragmites. During the breeding season it sings 
incessantly night and day in a somewhat hurried and confused 
manner, often imitating the notes of other birds. 
S. Luscinia, Temm. Man. d’Ornith. p. 195. 
NIGHTINGALE.—This species is seldom heard with us before 
the 16th of April. After the young broods are hatched, which 
usually takes place by the end of the first week in June, its 
song wholly ceases.
