The Indian Titlark is a common and permanent resident 
throughout the Presidency, breeding during May and June. The 
nest, which is a mere pad, is composed of fine roots and fibres, 
and is usually placed on the ground, under small tufts of grass, 
which only partially conceal it. 
The eggs, three or four in number, are oval in shape, brownish- 
white in color, profusely speckled with reddish and umber-brown. 
These spots are more dense at the large end. 
They measure 0 8 inches in length by about 0°6 in breadth,
