Excerpt from British Birds for Cages, Aviaries, and Exhibition, Vol. 2The female is not so distinct in general markings and is slightly smaller in size to the practised eye.Habitation. Generally common throughout these Islands, particularly in low-lying districts, and on grass land. I have seen them in very large numbers in Gloucestershire, Somerset, and Wilts in the fall of the year, on marshy and swampy grounds.Nest and Eggs. The former is generally constructed under the cover of some small bush, or tuft of grass, particularly on low-lying meadows.It is composed of dried grass, with an inner lining of wool or hair. Five eggs are generally the number of the clutch, of a greyish mottled brown colour, the markings apparently covering the whole of the ground colouration. Time: May, June, and July.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
