The eggs of the Golden Plover are sharply pyriform and possess 

 a fair amount of gloss. The ground-colour varies greatly, ranging 

 from a pale greenish grey to olive, olive-buff, and rich buff. The 

 markings are usually coarse and confluent, and consist of spots and 

 blotches of dark brown, rich reddish brown and black. The under- 

 lying pale purple markings are very inconspicuous. Some specimens 

 are less coarsely marked than others, the spots and blotches being: 

 comparatively small and well-defined. Numerous examples measure 

 from 1*9 to 2'1 in length, and from 1'3 to 1/5 in breadth.
