Golden-breasted Bunting eggs

Emberiza flaviventris

Description:

The Golden-breasted Bunting (Emberiza flaviventris) is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae.

Habitat:

It occurs in dry open woodlands in Africa south of the Sahara, but is absent from the equatorial forest belt.

Notes:

Not the colourful bird, but its beautiful eggs - I found this nest in an orange tree, unfortunately the nest had been abandoned. In the third photo you can see how well the nest is concealed. Unfortunately the tree was very small and the nest probably got disturbed a lot by humans and animals. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think its Golden-breasted bunting eggs.
