PLATE XXXV. 
The Tom Tit. 
This bird is the krgeft of its kind. There are feveral forts, which will appear in future plates. 
They are very common with us, and frequent our houfes, and home buildings in farmyards 
in the Winter. They lay from five to eight eggs. They are hardy in their nature, alter very little 
in their colour by moulting, and are a bird of no fong; therefore feldom caged. They make 
choice of an hole in a bam or rotten apple-tree to build in. Their food is generally bees, flies, 
fpiders, &c.
