The eggs of the Short-toed Eagle vary in shape from oval to 

 elliptical, and are plain white, with no gloss, though sometimes 

 tinged with blue. Canon Tristram (I. c.) speaks of having found a 

 spotted egg of this species, but the occurrence of such a specimen 

 must be rare. The eggs measure from 2-6 to 3' 05 in length, and 

 from 2 to 2*4 in breadth.
