" Common at Mussooree and in the Hills generally throughout 
the year. It breeds in April and May. The situation chosen is 
various, as one taken in the former month at Mussooree, at seven 
thousand feet elevation, was placed on the side of a bank among 
overhanging coarse grass, while another, taken in the latter month, 
at five thousand feet, was built among some ivy twining round a tree,

mosses, warmly lined with feathers. The eggs are five in number, 
white with a pinkish tinge, and sparingly sprinkled with lilac spots 
or specks, and having a well-defined lilac ring at the larger end.
