The nest, built in May, is placed in the hollow of a tree or a crevice of a wall, and is composted of dry stalks and grass, leaves and feathers.
The eggs vary from four to seven in number, and are a uniform pale bluish grey, faintly speckled with brown. The lower egg on the plate is from a drawing by William Richard Fisher., Esq of Yarmouth, from a speciment in Mr. Doubleday's collection.
