and general character, approach very near the former species :

pression, but the quality of voice quite equal, and the tones 
deeper, some of its notes resembling the blackbird’s song.

several localities in the eastern parts of the county, viz. — 
Trebartha Woods, where it breeds annually : only once seen 
in the western district. This bird possesses two varieties of 
song, quite different from each other : the first, and the most 
usual, is the rapid jarring trill, from which it derives its 
Latin name ; the second is a low whining, plaintive call, re- 
peated two or three times, at uncertain intervals, resembling 
the words “ chea,” “chea,” “chea.” 
Willow Warbler, 8. trocMlus ; summer visitant ; rather local.
