Eggs of the Spanish Magpie do not differ from those of P. pica. 
In one of the clutches of three eggs collected by Saunders, one egg 
is slightly marked with very small dots, a second has the whole 
of the pigment concentrated in a deep sooty-brown cap entirely 
covering the smaller end of the shell, the third egg is normal but 
rather lightly marked. They vary from 1°25 to 1°38 in length, and 
from *9 to ‘95 in breadth.
