THE nest of this species is placed in sand on a bank, 

 or among grass by the side of a stream. It also lays 

 its eggs in the nests of other birds, as blackbirds and 

 wood-pigeons, not building a nest for itself. 



The eggs, four in number, are of a greenish or greyish 

 white ground colour, with dusky or dark brown and light 

 reddish-brown and grey spots, more or less dark.
