The eggs of the Large Pied Wagtail are of an oval shape and 

 moderately glossy. They are greenish-white, pale grey or pale 

 hrown, marked with pale umber-brown and lavender-grey. Those 

 eggs which have a white ground appear to be generally marked 

 with more or less well-defined spots and blotches somewhat 

 sparingly distributed. Others with a grey or brown ground are, 

 for the most part, densely streaked and mottled. Between these 

 two types many intermediate varieties occur. Specimens measure 

 from -8 to 1*0 in length, and from *59 to ? in breadth.
