34 KESTREL 



long after this I received five eggs from another Kestrel's 

 nest, which were exactly like those I had previously after 

 they were washed." 



The eggs of the Kestrel vary very considerably. Some 

 have the colour chiefly at the larger end. They are usually 

 of a deep reddish brown or purplish red without much gloss, 

 but they may be found of varied markings, from brick red 

 to dull yellow chestnut in colour.
