THE nest is generally placed on the ground in holes or hollows, 

 especially in marshy or moist places, and among the projecting roots of 

 trees; also, it is said, in fields and meadows. It is formed of grass, 

 moss, or heath, lined with finer portions of the former materials, 

 and hair. 



The eggs are about six in number, whitish in colour, mottled nearly 

 all over with yellowish brown and grey. 



The engraving is from a drawing of an egg in Mr. Birkbeck's 

 collection.
