THE nest of this species is described as slight, lined with a few- 

 grasses, or a mere formation of the natural herbage around, and placed 

 in a hollow on some elevated spot in marshy places, but always in the 

 vicinity of water, either the sea, or some inland lake or river. 



The eggs are usually four in number, of a stone-colour, with a tinge 

 of olive, and spots and specks of dark brown. The old birds shew 

 great fondness for their young, and remain with them till they are- well 

 able to fly.
