The eggs of the Common Kestrel resemble, and are subject to the 

 same variations in colour as, the eggs of F. peregrinus, F. subbuteo, 

 and F.regulus. They exhibit all the variations of the eggs of these 

 Falcons, from a pale brownish-yellow example speckled with brown, 

 to one in which the markings are confluent masses of the richest 

 reddish brown ; they measure from 1'3 to 1*7 in length, and from 

 1-1 to 1-35 in breadth.
