Redwing, but the eggs were again hatched- It was here, 

 too, that we saw the Brambling, accompanied by its full- 

 grown young ones. 



The nest of the Redwing is placed, like those of the 

 Thrush and Blackbird, in the centre of a thorn or other 

 thick bush. It is similar to those of the Fieldfare, Black- 

 bird and Ring Ouzel. Outwardly it is formed of moss, 

 roots and dry grass, inwardly cemented with clay, and 

 again lined with a finer grass. 



Several of the eggs were brought home by Mr. Dann ; 

 some of these are in the possession of Mr. Yarrell, and are 

 similar to those which I have drawn from the collection 

 of Mr. J. Tuke. As will be seen by the plate they are 

 somewhat less than the eggs of the Fieldfare, but in other 

 respects are perfectly similar, as well as to those of the 

 Blackbird and Ring Ouzel ; indeed we have no other ge- 

 nus of birds in which the eggs of several species are so 

 much alike.
