HIS alfo appears among us only in the fpring 
and fummer, and is obferved to come over 
nearly at the fame time with the nightingale. It 
makes its neft in hollow trees, and holes in walls 
and other buildings; which it forms with mofs on 
the outfide, and lines with hair and feathers. It 
lays four or five eggs, very like thofe of the 
hedge-fparrow, but rather paler, and more taper

moves it horizontally as a dog does when fawning. 
The bill and legs of the male are black: the 
forehead white: the crown cf the head, hind part 
of the neck, and the back are of a deep blue grey: 
the cheeks and throat black: the breaft, rump
