THE nest is placed among stones, or in some cavity or crevice of 

 the mountain rock, and likewise at times, it is said, on the roofs of 

 houses in such situations, as also under the shelter of the alpine rose 

 or other low bush. It is made of moss and fine grass, and is lined 

 with wool and hair. 



The eggs, four or five in number, are of a beautiful light greenish 

 blue colour. There are said to be two broods in the year. 



"NT. F. AT. Bird, Esq. has kindly forwarded me a drawing of the 

 egg, from one in the fine collection of the Right Honourable Lord 

 GarvaGrh.
