The nest now lying by me, is loosely composedof straw, grass, and rushes; with here and there a littlewool or moss intermixed. The lining consists of thesame stuff, with more wool, and sometimes a fewfeathers. The nest is loosely made, and almost flat,having but a very shallow cavity. The eggs are fiveor six, of a longish figure, a pale blue colour, and un-spotted. These birds come to us in April; breed here, andreturn with their young in September.
