. British birds in their haunts. Birds -- Great Britain. â W^' ^^s â %.. ^*\' THE CIEL BUNTI:NtG. EMBERIZA CIRLUS. Crown dark olive, streaked with black; gorget and band above and below the ej'e bright yellow; throat, neck, and band across the eye, black; breast olive-gi-ey, iDOunded towards the sides by chestnut; abdomen dull yellow; back brownish red, with dusky spots. Fevudeâthe distinct patches of black and yellow wanting; the dusky spots on the back larger. Eggs greyish, marked with ash-colom-ed and black blotches and lines. With the exception of its black chin and throat, this bird closely resembles the Yellow Hammer. Its habits, too, are much the same, so that little can be said of it which does not equally apply to its congener. It appears, however, to be much less patient of cold, and is consequently mostly confined to the southern counties of England, especially Devon and Cornwall. It is frequent also in some parts of Surrey and Wiltshire. In the south of Europe, in the islands of the Mediterranean, and in Asia Minor, it is said to replace the Yellow Hammer, which is far less common. It is in the habit of perching higher than the Yellow Hammer, and is said to be partial to elm-trees. o2.
