PLATE XXXI. 
The Yellow Wagtail 
Is one of the genteeleft of the feathered tribe. They vifit us in the fummer feafon, and are fond 
of frequenting our bean fields and tares, but are partial to the latter, where horfes are feeding, on 
account of the great number of flies generally attendant, they being their favourite food. They 
are quick and ftort in their fl.ght, and generally fettle on the firft twig or branch near them. They 
lay five eggs as reprefented in the plate : the young ones do not change their colour as they grow 
older fo materially as fome birds do, but only get fomewhat darker in their fhades.
