THE nest of this bird is a small hollow, with a few fragments of 

 heath or grass placed -within it. 



The eggs, of a pear shape, as in the kindred species, are four in 

 number, of a very pale yellowish green colour, sprinkled all over with 

 irregular spots of dark brown and blots of light purple grey, with 

 fewest of either on the smaller end.
