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

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 ::) :P

Oops! Edited to shrink piccy ;D

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

Madlou · « **Reply #11 on:** May 05, 2005, 15:52:18 »

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 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 05, 2005, 16:01:59 »

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 ? "

Sorry for becoming obsessed with your egg
