Egg

We found this egg in spring.
Don't worry, it was just lying on the ground.
The detail is just beautiful.

 I find it real difficult to identify this egg.
 Perhaps it's a cuckoo egg.........
Cuckoo birds are actually able to mimic eggs of other birds so they are cared for.
When you might have a different idea, please let me know.

  1. I think it's a blackbird's egg

  2. You might be right!
    At first I had the same thought but our egg seemed to have a darker colour.
    Another possibility might be a Fieldfare egg (Turdus pilaris).
