“This species frequents the gravelly hollows of the Caucasian tor- 
rents during the whole of the summer, and migrates southward, in 
search of food, on the approach of winter ; it runs along the banks of 
rivers ; is restless, but not fearful ; often moving its tail while sitting 
on the low shrubs; it makes its nest among the branches of the sea 
buckthorn, of the berries of which it is very fond.’’—Giildenstadt.
