Egg burried ....
« on: March 01, 2013, 20:06:32 »
Weird question, wasn't sure where to ask this....So today I was re-potting a few things I have in the front of the house and in one container, about 6 inches down there was a whole brown egg, totally intact. It looks like a chicken's egg but is maybe a bit bigger. So weird!  The only thing I can think of is either someone is playing a joke on me or a fox possibly? Any ideas?

Not sure, but I don't think foxes lay eggs!

Definetly a Fox

This fella never brought me an egg but he brought me lots of golf balls, trouble is I don't play golf!



He just loved getting his picture took in my back garden, a right poser he was;



Trouble is he always caused me a bit of pain as this is what he did when he buried them;
