2–3 stone-coloured eggs
The Indian stone-curlew is restricted to Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. The normal clutch is two or three stone-coloured eggs laid in a scrape on bare ground, sometimes at the base of a bush (Wikipedia, general species account).
The eggs are incubated mainly by the female, with the male standing guard nearby. The sources read for the Bhutan guide give no plumage, size, habitat or diet information, so none is stated, and the entry is kept short.
