make the northern retreat, and visit us in win- 
ter; not but numbers breed in the high cliffs in 
all parts of this island. We suspect that the 
Turtle leaves us in winter, at lest changes its 
place, removing to the southern counties. 
Breeds here; possibly several remove to other 
countries for that purpose, since the produce of 
those that continue here, seems unequal to the 
clouds of them that appear in winter. It is not 
unlikely that many migrate into Sweden, where 
Mr. Berger observes they return in spring. 
The Fieldfare and the Redwing breed and 
pass their summers in Norway, and other cold 
countries; their food is berries, which abound- 
ing in our kingdoms, tempts them here in the 
winter. These two and the Royston crow, are 
the only land birds that regularly and constantly 
migrate into England, and do not breed here. 
The Haw and Cross-billed Grosbeak come 
here at such uncertain times, as not to deserve 
the names of birds of passage; they breed in 
Austria. I suspect the Pine Grosbeak breeds 
in the forests of the Highlands of Scotland. ‘The 
Bulfinch and Green Grosbeak never quit the 
island. 
The Chatterer appears annually about Edin- 
burgh in flocks during winter; and feeds on the 
berries of the mountain ash. In South Britain 
it is an accidental visitant.
