Edelgave. Breeds every year in the garden or the 

 parcels of wood, sornetimes more than one pair (1868 four 

 pairs, 1878 two or three). Since 1868 found fourteen nests, 

 two in birches, two in Scotch firs, the others in spruces; 

 generally old crows' or rooks' nests; three times old ravens' 

 nests. In i883 the nest was on the border of a large rookery. 

 Nests lined with pellets of mouse-hairs. Eggs nearly always 

 five (once four, once three); 1878 May 8th three, June öth 

 five, June loth five. (H.) 



At a village church in Thy, June igth i883 a nest 

 with seven young birds almost able to fly, and near these 

 a fresh egg; a second egg laid on 24th, a third on 2 5th, 

 fourth on 27 th, fifth on 29th. This pair seems then to 

 have been bent on raising two broods in one year. (H.) 



In i885 found breeding in four churches near Lögstör, 

 six in Öster Hanherred (at two of these two nests, at one 

 three), besides one in Vendsyssel and two in Thy. Often 

 six eggs. One nest was in a niche on outside of wall, barely 

 six feet from the ground. The nests in the churches were 

 mere depressions in the chalk, without lining; therefore the 

 eggs had sornetimes holes and cracks, but the chicks were 

 developed nevertheless. When the eggs were taken, others 

 were laid as follows: i) May 3d three, 23d five. 2) May 

 i4th six, 3ist four. 3) May iith six, June I2th five. 

 4) May 4th second egg laid, 7th third, 8th fourth, i2th sixth; 

 igth there were none; 3oth again three — at least the ninth 

 now laid; June öth twelfth, 22 d fifteenth; July 25th sixteenth, 

 with the appearance of having lain in nest for some time;
