THIS species, which has never been known to breed in 

 any part of the British Islands, deposits its eggs, which 

 are of a pale olive-brown colour, speckled, blotted, and 

 spotted with other darker shades of brown, in a slight 

 depression in the ground, the nest being formed of a little 

 dry grass or herbage. It breeds in the swampy portions 

 of the Arctic tundras.
