Description

The eggs here are from pied flycatcher (blue, top left), meadow pipit (top centre), tree pipit (top right), dunlin (upper left), corncrake (or landrail, upper right), Richardson's skua (large, centre), widgeon (white, lower right), golden plover (bottom left) and skylark (bottom right).
