THIS rare visitor to Britain builds in numbers south of 

 the Equator. The Rev. A. Eaton found the eggs at 

 Kerguelen Island. They are of a dull white colour, with 

 minute spots at the broader end. They are laid in January 

 and February, in holes amongst shattered rocks and large 

 boulders. One is deposited by each bird.
