Eggs of the Ortolan Bunting are of an extremely broad oval form 

 and highly glossy. They are greenish- white in some cases, greyish- 

 pink in others, spotted, streaked, and blotched with rich purplish- 

 or chocolate-brown. A few specimens are beautifully marked with 

 a delicate tracery of fine lines round the broad end, forming a 

 wreath or zone, but the majority are marked with spots and short 

 streaks only. The underlying markings are purplish-grey, but they 

 are faint and indistinct. The eggs measure from '71 to '8 in 

 length, and from -57 to -67 in breadth.
