The greater part of our winter birds have now 

 left us, and the earliest of the summer ones have 

 arrived. Some of the snipes remain all the year. 

 The bunting and reed-sparrow are said to remain 

 in the southern counties through the winter. Of this 

 class of partially migratory birds we have a con- 

 siderable number.
