dull afli-colour : belly dirty white : fides, thighs, and vent, pale- 

 tawny brown : legs dull fiefh-colour. 



In the female the colours are. left vivid than in the male. 



This bird frequents hedges in England, and is very common. 

 Makes its neft of mofs and wool, lining it with hair; and lays 

 four or five eggs, of a fine pale blue. With us, and the more 

 northern regions, it is feen at all feafons ; but in France it is mi- 

 gratory, coming in Oclcber, and departing northward in fpring: 

 however a very few Hay behind ; for now and then a neft is found 

 in France, though rare. 



This is a winter fongfter; and its note would be thought plea- 

 fant, did it not remind us of the approach of winter; beginning 

 with the firft frofts, and continuing till a little time in fpring. 



Its often repeating the words ///, tit, tit, has occasioned its. 

 being called "Titling ; a name it is known by in many places. 



The Cuckow frequently lays her egg in the neft of this bird_
