' I A HIS bird, which once occurred in England, is a native 

 1 of Russia and Siberia. It has really no claim to be 

 considered as British. Its nest, which is built towards the 

 middle of May, is made of grass, and placed on the ground 

 in the midst of the desolate tundras. The eggs, four or 

 more in number, are described as of a pale greyish white 

 colour, more or less mottled and blotted with dark olive 

 brown.
