nnHE nest, which is commenced the middle of May, 

 -L is sometimes well hid in the innermost recess of 

 some crevice among rocks, in an old wall, stone-quarry, 

 gravel-pit, or chalk-pit, and frequently in a deserted 

 rabbit-burrow, or the hollow under some large clod, 

 tuft, or stone. Mr. Hewitson has known one in the 

 bank of a river, in a hole deserted by a Sand Martin. 

 It is rudely constructed of fine dry stalks of grass or 

 moss, feathers or wool, rabbits' fur, hair, or any other 

 'odds and ends' that may chance to be procurable. 



The eggs, usually from four to six in number, 

 sometimes, though very rarely, seven, are of an elegant 

 rather elongated form, and of a uniform delicate pale 

 blue colour, deepest at the larger end. A. ]. Drake, 

 Esq. has some varieties quite white. 



One is of a dull greyish green, with a few distinct 

 reddish spots all over.
