THE BRITISH NATURE BOOK 



I. RESIDENTS.* 



* These birds are with us all the year round ; but while some do not move away, others shift 

 their quarters locally, or even come or go as migrants. The starling, for example, is found with us 

 always ; yet while some will leave these shores, or even perhaps the neighbourhood where they 

 nest, others come from Europe in the spring in great flocks, and yet others migrate in the autumn. 

 The starling therefore, though resident, is also a summer visitor, a winter visitor, and a bird of 

 passage.
