34 HISTORY OF GLANVILLE'S WOOTTON. 



4. Fringilla coccothraustes. Hawfinch. Rare ; but in 



the winter of 1874 several were seen in the yard 

 at the back door of the Manor House, one of 

 which I had stuffed. 



5. F. carduelis. Goldfinch. Common. 



6. F. spinus. Siskin. Has been but very rarely seen. 



7. F. cannabina. Linnet. Common. 



8. F. linaria. Lesser Redpole. Rare. In 1862 I 



found a nest with four eggs of this bird on 

 Newland Common. 



1. Loxia pyrrhula. Bullfinch. Common. My father 



kept one tame for seven years, and it used to 

 talk very plainly. 



2. L. curvirostra. Common Crossbill. Rare. A few 



old nests of this species have been found in the 

 orchard by G. B. Wollaston, Esq., and myself. 

 1. Sturnus vulgaris. Starling. Abundant. 



1. Corvus corax. Raven. Formerly common. A 



pair, until the last ten years, used to build in a 

 Scotch fir tree on Dungeon. 



2. C. corone. Crow. Common. 



3. C. frugilegus. Rook. Abundant. There is a 



rookery close to the Manor House. 



4. C. monedula. Jackdaw. Abundant. 



5. C. pica. Magpie. Common. 



6. C. glandarius. Jay. Common. A man in this 



parish (Tucker by name) kept one alive in a 

 cage for fifteen years. 

 1. Picus viridis. Green Woodpecker. Abundant.
