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

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

 brown, marked with pale umher-hrown 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 I'D in length, and from -59 to -7 in breadth.
