The Meadow-Pipit is one of the commonest of 

 our birds. Though a few remain with us over

The RocK-PiPiT is also common near the coast, but

The Snow-Bunting is a winter migrant, and in 

 severe winters is observed on Arthur's Seat. 



The Reed-Bunting is not numerous, but occasional 

 specimens are seen on marshy spots in this locality. 



The Corn-Bunting frequents the fields in the 

 environs of Craigmillar. 



The Yellowhammer is found here at all seasons. 



The House- and Hedge-Sparrow are both very
