MIGRATION IN A SOUTHERN COUNTY. 303 



farm-buildings, as well as on the open fields, 

 birds in plenty may be watched the winter 

 through ; the sea and the shore at this season 

 ever teem with interest for the ornithologist ; 

 while the country around is a chosen resort of 

 bird-life in abundance. All the winter through, 

 in sheltered spots, bees and butterflies and other 

 insects are to be met with ; bats, dormice, and 

 other hibernating creatures sleep lightly ; and 

 the naturalist, more especially the ornithologist, 

 may rest assured of plenty of occupation in a 

 county where autumn is joined to spring by an 

 unbroken succession of flowers and a perennial 

 chorus of avine song ! 



THE END.
