21. Wood Warbler (Sylvia sy I-

Usually first seen about April 

 19 : stays till the middle of Oc- 

 tober. 



This species is not found 

 nearer than Quy Water, (three 

 miles from hence,) where I have 

 observed it usually about the 

 third week in April. 



About April 20. 



April 22. 



A few of these birds are seen 

 upon Newmarket Heath, where 

 they breed in holes on the 

 Devil's Ditch ; but they are not 

 very numerous, and I am uncer- 

 tain at what period they arrive. 



These four species appear 

 very much together ; usually 

 about April 25. 



Seldom heard with us before 

 the last week in April, and 

 sometimes not till May. 



End of April. 



End of April or beginning of 

 May: generally stays a few 

 days later than the swallow. 



Beginning of May. 



Ditto. Not common with 

 us, and generally heard but a 

 very short time ; some years not 

 at all.
