The nest of this bird is a small hollow, v>'ith a few 

 fragments of heath or grass placed within it. 



The eggs, of a pear shape as in the kindred species, 

 are four in number, of a very pale yellowish green 

 colour, sprinkled all over with irregular spots of dark 

 brown and blots of light purple grey, with fewest of 

 either on the smaller end.
