Pipit Richard, French ; Stelzenpieper, Spornpieper, Ger- 

 man. 



An uncommon autumnal visitor to this country, in 

 which most, though by no means all, of its recorded 

 captures have occurred near the sea. 



According to various authors, Richard's Pipit has a 

 wide range over Asia and Europe, and breeds almost 

 throughout the central districts of the first-named con- 

 tinent.
