Why are partridge eggs the same colour as the ground?

Partridge eggs are typically speckled and colored in shades of brown and beige, which helps them blend in with their natural environment. This camouflage is a survival adaptation that protects them from predators by making it harder to spot the eggs among the soil, rocks, and vegetation. By matching the color of the ground, partridge eggs enhance their chances of survival during the vulnerable incubation period.
