28. Nightingale. 



29. Blackcap Warbler. 



30. Garden Warbler. 



31. Common White throat (see p. 160). 



32. Lesser Whitethroat. 



33. Wood Warbler (see p. 162). 



34. Willow Warbler. 



35. Chiff-chaff. 



36. Dartford Warbler. From the nature of the localities which 



this bird frequents, viz., the thick gorse on the unfrequented 

 downs ; from its retiring, shelter-loving habit of dropping 

 down into concealment in its impervious retreat on the 

 approach of an intruder ; and from the position of its nest 

 in the very thickest part of the densest gorse, there is per- 

 haps no bird which breeds annually in the county whose 

 nest is so seldom found. The patient watcher, however, 

 who will devote time to the task, may by dint of careful 

 and prolonged examination be rewarded by the discovery of 

 the well-concealed nest ; or he may quite as probably, not- 

 withstanding all his labour and patience, go away baffled 

 and disappointed.
