The eggs of the Common or Corn-Bunting vary in shape from a 
narrow to a broad oval, and have a considerable amount of gloss, 
The ground-colour is sometimes bluish-white, at others creamy, and 
very frequently of a pinkish stone-colour. The markings, which 
consist of spots, blotches, streaks and lines, both fine and thick, of 
very dark purplish-brown or chocolate-brown, are boldly disposed 
over the broader half of the egg and sparingly elsewhere. Many 
specimens are very profusely marked with blotches and smears 
of lilac- and lavender-grey, while others have these underlying 
markings almost entirely wanting. The eggs measure from °87 
to 1:04 in length, and from °63 to -74 in breadth.
