THE Lesser Kestrel builds among ruins, or in the crevices of 

 mountain rocks. 



The eggs are said to be three or four in number, of a reddish 

 white ground-colour, with a great number of little points and spots 

 of a brick-dust red, commingled together and mixed with other 

 small brown spots. 



There are several varieties of them.
