The eggs of the Wood-Wren are mostly of a broad oval shape, a 

 few being spheroidal. They have a considerable amount of gloss. 

 The ground-colour is white, occasionally tinged with pink or grey, 

 speckled and streakily blotched with umber or purplish brown and 

 underlying lavender-grey. The markings are usually dense every- 

 where, but they are larger and frequently confluent at the broad 

 end. The eggs measure from # 6 to '7 in length, and from '47 to 

 •54 in breadth.
