The eggs of the Wheatear are of a pointed oval form and are 

 usually very glossy. They are of a pale greenish-blue colour, 

 generally spotless, but occasionally marked with a few brown or 

 purple specks, chiefly on the larger end. A clutch of six eggs from 

 the Seebohm Collection, taken in Holland, are, comparatively 

 speaking, quite heavily spotted with pale and dark purple-red. 

 The eggs measure from •72 to -OS in length, and from '56 to '65 

 in breadth.
