THE Rock Thrush is a rare visitor, breeding in the 

 south of Europe. The nest is made of moss, roots, 

 and dried grass, without clay. It is placed in crevices of 

 rocks, walls, or ruins, occasionally in a tree-stump. 



The eggs are described as being four to five in number, 

 and of a pale greenish-blue colour, sometimes slightly 

 speckled with light brown. 



Two broods are often reared in the year.
