the first to discover the nest of this bird in Lapland, 
in 1856, after a long search and offering a large reward. 
It is composed of moss and lichen, lined with reindeer- 
hair, and feathers. Wolley obtained six nests, five of 
which were found in birch and fir trees, at a little over 
the height of a man from the ground. In one nest only 
did he meet with more than five eggs : these are of a pale 
bluish or pale salmon-colour, speckled with brown and 
red spots. In that year the breeding time occurred at the 
latter end of June.
