It is a shallow, slight, net-like structure, made of dry grass-stalks, often bound together with cobwebs or cocoons and roots, and lined with a little horsehair. The hen-bird sits very closely, and when disturbed flits to and fro from branch to branch, often in company with the male, from time to time uttering a harsh and scolding tec or tay-tay. This species is not at all social during the nesting season. RANGE OF EGG COLOURATION AND MEASUREMENT : The eggs of the Lesser Whitethroat are four or... five in number. They vary from pure white to very pale buff in ground colour, blotched and freckled with various shades of greenish-brown, and with underlying markings of violet-gray.
