The eggs of the Common or Corn-Bunting vary in shape from a 

 narrow to a broad oval, and have a considerable amount of gloss. 

 The ground-colour is sometimes bluish-white, at others creamy, and 

 very frequently of a pinkish stone-colour. The markings, which 

 consist of spots, blotches, streaks and lines, both fine and thick, of 

 very dark purplish-brown or chocolate-brown, are boldly disposed 

 over the broader half of the egg and sparingly elsewhere. Many 

 specimens are very profusely marked with blotches and smears 

 of lilac- and lavender-grey, while others have these underlying 

 markings almost entirely wanting. The eggs measure from "87 

 to 1'04 in length, and from '63 to '74 in breadth.
