The small willow-wren, or chif-chaf, is heard inthe short Lythe.  This is the earliest summer bird, & is heard usually about the 20th of March.  Tho’ one of the smallest of our birds, yet it’s two notes are very loud, & piercing, so as to occasion an echo in the hanging woods.  It loves to frequent tall beeches.
