The eggs of the Pied Flycatcher are of an oval form, with the 

 smaller end generally very sharply pointed, and they are usually 

 extremely glossy. They vary in colour from a very delicate 

 pale blue to a fairly dark blue. It is stated that some eggs are 

 occasionally speckled with pale reddish brown, but all the specimens 

 in the National Collection are quite plain. They measure from '63 

 to -78 in length, and from -47 to "57 in breadth. A small specimen 

 from Norway measures only -Gl by -41, but another from Algeria, 

 the largest in the series, measures -78 by -6.
