562 On the Nesting of Birds in Wiltshire. 



52. Yellow Bunting. 



53. Cirl Bunting (see p. 191). 



54. Chaffinch (see p. 193). 



55. House Sparrow. 



56. Tree Sparrow. I am assured that the nest of this species 

 has been found in Wilts ; but I have no personal knowledge 

 of it ; and I confess that I admit it amongst Wiltshire nest- 

 builders with considerable hesitation (see p. 198). 



57. Greenfinch. 



58. Hawfinch (see p. 199). 



59. Goldfinch. 



60. Common Linnet. 



61. Lesser Redpole. This is another species which breeds freely 



in the northern counties of England, but has only on rare 

 occasions been known to nest in this county (see p. 207). 



62. Bullfinch. 



63. Common Starling. 



64. Haven (see pp. 222-232). 



65. Carrion Crow. 



66. Rook (see pp. 238-240). 



67. Jackdaw (see p. 241). 



68. Magpie (see p. 244). 



69. Jay. 



70. Green Woodpecker. 



71. Great Spotted Woodpecker. 



72. Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. 



73. Wryneck (see p. 256). This bird, so common in many parts 

 of England, but very rarely breeds in Wiltshire ; indeed, in 

 the West of England generally, it may almost be considered 

 an accidental straggler. 



74. Common Creeper. 



75. Wren (see p. 261). 



76. Hoopoe. For the very remarkable occurrence of the nest of 



this bird in Wiltshire, I refer to the account given above, 

 - p. 267. 



77. Nuthatch (see" p. 269).
