    I came accross 3 of these together today on my mini macro photowalk. Any ideas what they are from & how they came to be broken on the ground?

    Looks like a blackbird egg. The damage is typical of magpies

    I'm no twitcher but I know me sweets...that's a Cadbury mini egg (sans choco). A little out of season now but they can still be obtained from 1 euro shops. Still delish if a little out of date.

    What size is it?
    I'm leaning towards blackbird or mistle thrush if its only about 3cm in length.
    I stand to be corrected!
