AN accidental straggler to the southern and eastern 

 counties of England. 



The nest is generally placed on the ground in holes 

 or hollows, especially in moist places in fields and meadows. 

 It is formed of grass, moss, or heath, lined with finer 

 portions of the former materials, and hair. 



The Grey-headed Wagtail is rather a late breeder, 

 the eggs being seldom laid before the end of May or 

 beginning of June, so it probably has but one brood 

 during the season. 



The eggs are four to six in number, whitish in colour, 

 mottled nearly all over with yellowish brown and grey.
