Blackbird? Cuckoo? or Dunnock?

[Roy Bham UK]

Found this on the Lottie today whilst digging a bed, I don't know how I missed it with the fork.

It was in amongst the FY Manure no sign of a nest, it was stone cold and you could feel something lumpy when shaken.

I think it was a Dunnock

Oops! Edited to shrink piccy

   Jureckon it's Jurassic of the Mesozoic Era Then I'm sure it's a Dunnock

[Carol]

well am not so sure about Dunnock,  think it may be a Robins!!! but on the other hand it could be a blackbirds or even a Thrush.

Carol  now the Robin and the Thrush has confused me no end Are you sure as I still think it is [size=05pt]a Cuckoo or a Dunnock[/size]

Well its like this Roy,  I had one of them in my garden too, but you see, I don't have a shhhhh    cuckoo about here, plenty Blackbirds around and did have a Thrush, but, but it could be a   D  n    k  but dont tell anyone eh!

I did look up me bird book, they dont show birds eggs nowadays!!!

Sorry to dis-appoint everyone, but according to my bird book the Dunnock's eggs are bright blue...will keep looking though

[Madlou]

I've found one that could be a possibility I guess, what about a Kestrel...Previously mentioned book says they lay pale eggs that have heavy reddish brown blotches....

I'll keep looking shall I

[Madlou]

Yes I know I'm getting boring but sometimes you just have to do these things!

I have come up with a couple more likely possibilities althought hey aren't exactly exciting ones.

1: Jackdaw - Lays Pale blueish-green eggs with darker blotches.

2: Rook - Lays Pale blueish=green egss blotched with brown.

3: Hooded Crow - Lays Pale blueish-green eggs that are heavily blotched dark.


I have now saved your pic and will email it later to a knowledgable twitcher friend of my husband who will undoubtedly say "it's a ? "
