This is a common Bird in mod: parts of Europe. In England 

 it is feen in the North only in the fummer ; but in the South it con- 

 tinues the whole year. It is frequently feen on the heaths with the 

 Stone-chatter ; but is not fo common as that Bird. It builds its neft 

 among the furze : its food is chiefly infects. 



The colours of the female are not fo beautiful as in the male. 

 The white on the wing is lefs confpicuous, the breaft is of a plain 

 colour, and inftead of the white and black ftreaks on the cheeks, it 

 has only one broad ftreak of dull brown. Length about fix inches.
