T AM informed by an intelligent obferver of E^iglifi birds *, that 

 he has never met with this fpecies in the neighbourhood of 

 London, except in winter i and that it difappears before the end of 

 Jpril. Should this be the general faft, I can by no means recon- 

 cile the circumftance of its breeding in France -f, as all migratory 

 birds go northward to breed, not to a warmer climate; andfhould 

 rather fuppofe, that if it does not quit England in fummer, it will 

 hereafter be found in the northern parts of it, as has been obfesved 

 in relpedl to the Grey Wagtail.
