In Europe, the bird before us is common in Spain, France, 

 and Italy, and also visits Russia, Norway, and its islands 

 even within the arctic circle, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and 

 other parts. In Asia it has also been observed in Persia, 

 by my friend Mr. Strickland, and Mr. Gould has received 

 specimens from India. Meyer says that it is common also 

 in North America. 



In this country it is plentiful in the southern and eastern 

 counties Kent, Sussex, Hants., Wilts., Dorset, Devon, Corn- 

 wall, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Derbyshire, Durham, and 

 Northumberland: in Cornwall it is rare. In Yorkshire it is 

 very abundant near Sowerby and Thirsk, as Edward D. 

 Swarbreck, Esq. informs me. 



It occurs also in Scotland, even in the extremity of the 

 mainland, plentifully in Sutherlandshire, about Tongue and 

 Loch Assynt, Laing and Loch Naver, Leith Water, Currie, 

 Slateford, Edinburgh, and the Pentland Hills. In Ireland 

 also, throughout the island, even in the extreme west, from 

 south to north from Kerry to Donegal. 



In Orkney it is noted as having been observed at Clestron, 

 in Orphir, during spring; it appeared in the neighbourhood 

 of Ellsness, in April, 1825; and one was killed by Mr. Strang, 

 May 20th., 1839. Another was seen in a plantation at 

 Muddisdale, near Kirk wall, June 2nd., 1847.
