Eggs of the Canarian Pipit are of a regular oval form and have 
little or no gloss. They vary greatly in colour and markings. The 
eggs of one clutch are greyish-white, mottled with pale greyish- 
brown and lavender; those of a second clutch are white, spotted and 
blotched with pale umber-brown and lavender ; a third type has the 
eround-colour creamy-white thickly mottled with umber-brown ; 
a fourth has the markings purplish-brown or grey. ‘The markings 
are often denser at the broad end, where they form a zone. 
Examples measure from *75 to ‘82 in length, and from 55 to ‘6 in 
breadth.
