Excerpt from The Oologists' Record, 1921, Vol. 1: A Quarterly Magazine Devoted to the Advancement of Oology in All Parts of the World
Colius macrourus (l). I was delighted to find on 27th July my first nest of the Blue-naped Coly, and to identify the bird on it. The three eggs were fairly heavily spotted with markings varying from black, in what was probably the first laid egg, through deep brown to light umber in the last. The nest was five feet from the ground in a thorny bush, rather an isolated one. It was a flattish cup.
