Illus. Br. Orn., Flemm. Br. Anim. 



The Grasshopper Warbler is but sparingly dispersed, and only in peculiar localities, lovi^, 

 shrubby underwood in moist situations appears to be their favourite resort. At Twizelb 

 when the plantations were young, with a great undergrowth of broom, whin, and bramble, 

 they were, I may say, numerous, but since the wood has grown up, they have deserted the 

 place. The eggs of this species are not of a blueish white, as stated in the Illustrations, but 

 of a pinkish -grey, with numerous small specks of a deeper colour.

This is a very common species in all low situations, the banks of rivers, ponds, &e. It 

 sings during the greater part of the night, and may at any time be induced to utter its song, 

 by throwing a stone into the bush in which it sits concealed from view : many of its notes 

 resemble those of other small birds, as the Swallow, Sparrow, &e.
