rriHE nest is placed among stones, or in some 

 cavity or crevice of mountain rock, 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. 



W. F. W. Bird, Esq. has kindly forwarded me a 

 drawing of the egg, from one in the fine collection 

 of the Right Honourable Lord Garvagh.
