THE CORN-BUNTING. 



Bunting feeds on seeds and grain of various kinds, and 

 also upon insects. 



Its nest, which is composed of grass and fibrous roots 

 lined with a little hair, is usually placed on the ground, 

 under the shelter of a bush, or amongst coarse herbage. 

 The eggs, from four to six in number, are purplish white, 

 streaked and blotched with deep brown.
