tote 847 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 mistle thrush put it on a tape measure please It's in the bin now cos judge made me pick it up and it cracked all over but it was probably just short of an inch though Too small for a Mistle Thrush so I'll go with House Sparrow.

Millet 4,497 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I know it's a late reply but i would say it's far too large for a sparrow..im sure it is more Jackdaw size and colour.. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&xhr=t&q=jackdaw+eggs&cp=9&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1280&bih=808&wrapid=tljp1310039909590016&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Millet 4,497 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 You might have a point there Kenny..but i find it hard to judge the size of anything held in the hand as all hand's are different length's and thickness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pattstaff 157 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Its possible that this egg was robbed from a nest a bit away from your garden and dropped as the bird was flying over it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
