The eggs of the Common Sandpiper closely resemble the eggs of 

 the Green Sandpiper in shape and coloration. They are, however, 

 .smaller and more glossy, many of them being indeed highly glossy. 

 The ground varies from cream-colour to a rich pinkish biiff. The 

 markings consist of specks, spots, and small blotches of light and 

 dark reddish brown, chocolate-brown, and pale purple, the latter 

 underlying the others. On a few specimens the markings consist of 

 lines and scrawls, and occasionally of small cloudy smears, more or 

 less confluent. On the whole, however, they are distinct and 

 rounded. The eggs measure from 1-35 to 1-6 in length, and from 

 1 to l-l in breadth.
