Topic: so sad

[GREENWIZARD]

i've just found this wee egg lying in the grass at the top of the garden

it must have fallen out the nest  :'( we've had really strong winds for the past couple of nights

[MrsKP]

Ahh, but it sits between the "boobs"  ::) (not that I have needed to use the method ;D)

if i had to try it, the poor wee egg would stay as cold as when GW found it.  ;D

Shame for the poor wee B/T though.  My pair haven't been seen for some time.  I hope they're OK looking after their eggs.   ::)

It is such a shame when this happens, last year during high winds a blackbird nest and its eggs were blown out of its tree in our garden, all the eggs smashed :(

[GREENWIZARD]

i thought it was a blackie's egg......but i know nothing

[Robert_Brenchley]

Blackbird eggs are bright blue.

the egg i found was blueish although in the pic it looks more greenish

Hiya Greenwizzard!  I wonder if you HAD found the egg in good time to incubate, and eventually the little one would have hatched, surely it would have thought YOU were its mum!  And you would have had to feed it, quite a relentless task for the first days I understand.

Hope all is well in your part of the world !  All fine on the water now.   :D ;D

[GREENWIZARD]

i was just thinking about you the other day ;D
glad to hear everything is ticky boo
unfortunaely the wee egg was cold :'( it would have been nice to look after a newborn again ;) ;D

[Marianne]

I hope you may still be given that chance.  There are lots of orphans nowadays, with roaming cats and high winds.  Take care!  ;) :D
