SAVI'S WARBLER 



PLATE CXV. 



Locustella luscinioides, SAVI. 



Sylvia luscinioides, GOULD. 



Salicaria luscinioides, YARRELL. 



THE nest of this rare summer visitant, which is placed 

 on the ground, is formed of the leaves of the reed, 

 wound round and interlaced, but without any other lining. 

 It is begun the middle or towards the end of May, by 

 which time, or early in June, the eggs are laid. Both 

 birds sit. 



The eggs are of a whitish colour, minutely speckled 

 nearly all over with pale red and light grey, in some the 

 red, and in others the grey, predominating.
