Preferred nesting sites are on the ground under hedgerows or other low cover or in long grass. The female makes a hollow or scrape generally unlined in which she lays one brood of between around 7 to 15 matt olive brown eggs between April to July. Incubation is by the female alone and lasts for approximately twenty six days with the chicks fledging after about two weeks.
