Excerpt from The Feathered Tribes of the British Islands, Vol. 2 of 2
So far as has been observed, the resident species of British birds of this order are more numerous, in proportion to the visitants and stragglers, than in the insectivorous birds; and as the visitants come at a time when birds flock or congre gate, and not when they spread themselves over their pastures as they do in the breeding season, the winter stragglers are better seen than the summer ones.
