The reed-sparrow, passer troquatus in aurundinetis nidificans, sings at Liss, near Mrs. Cole’s ponds.  It sings night and day while breeding & has a fine variety of notes.

*As it appears since, this was the passer arundicnaceus minor of Ray: a thin-billed bird, and probably a bird of summer passage.
