Whose Egg is it?
«

We found an egg on the allotment buried under some compost left on top of some weed fabric. It looked intact, was white and was about the size of a tennis ball (though obviously egg shaped).
Any idea what kind of egg it is and where it came from??

Havn't a clue but would be wary if I found it --- could be long and slippery ?

Oh dear. What should I do with it? we've reburied it at the moment.
I did think about snakes but it'd have to be a pretty big one for the size of egg :o

Grass snake eggs are a lot smaller than that.
