Rolfe 2 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I picked up this dropped eggshell today......i don't know if it was the result of predation or if it was one that had hatched and had been removed by the parent bird. Same size as a blackbirds egg (might be one) but a lot more blue and the speckles clustered at the top end.......unless its a colour variation of a blackbirds egg I haven't a clue who's it is...? Long range digital zoom shot of a woodmouse on a bird feeder in a squirrel trap taken through a window as well.....so not crystal clear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 looks like a blackbirds egg to me mate or if its more blue than it looks could possibly be a thrush Quote Link to post Share on other sites
undisputed 1,664 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) mistle thrush or blackie Song thrush is blue with black spots Edited June 17, 2012 by undisputed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rolfe 2 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 it's the same colour blue as a song thrushes egg, albeit it doesn't show it in the picture, it's deffinately not a song thrushes egg......mistle thrush sounds a viable option though...! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Millet 4,497 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I would go with a blackie..they do lay different coloured egg's at times.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
