hedge sparrow

I chanced on a hedge-sparrow's lately, the whole groundwork of which was composed of the dry vines of the wild white convolvulus.

Sometimes it feeds on the ground like the hedge-sparrow, by hopping about on the grass-plots and mown-walks.

The hedge-sparrow, the best bird for such a task, is too rare; should he increase again, the case will be different.

In Scotland the word cuddy again stands both for an ass and for some kinds of bird, including the hedge-sparrow and the moor-hen.

On June 18, 1787, I examined the nest of a hedge-sparrow, which then contained a cuckoo's and three hedge-sparrow's eggs.
