Mystery egg.

Isn’t it strange, all the egg burying that goes on ? I remember the egg in the plant pot SueD.
I wonder why foxes don’t take the egg back to their den, or munch it right away? Dog type behaviour I suppose, burying things.
I have no idea what the creamy coloured egg was Nand but something has now eaten it.?

Apparently burying an egg in planters is a really good idea to feed young plants!! Not that I’m suggesting you have a horticultural aware fox in the area

I often find eggs buried in the garden by the foxes

Foxes. I find them buried in my plant tubs, eggs not foxes.

Update: left the egg on the ground where it was last night. It had gone this morning.

A very clever fox, Shysal as the pot didn’t look in the least bit disturbed!

Looks like a sparrows egg to me.

I suspect a fox has burried this. Last Christmas around December 28th we were working in the garden and found a turkey carcass burried in our flower bed !

It looks a bit too pale and speckled to be a pheasant egg. We found one similar on a walk recently, about the size of a small hen’ egg, but I couldn’t identify it.

A favourite trick of foxes, SueDonim.

I discovered an egg, pretty sure it was a hen’s one, in a plant container last year. The pot had been undisturbed for a couple of years because what was in there had been growing well. Then it died so I emptied out the pot to put new compost in and an egg appeared. There was no sign the soil or plant had been disturbed. Baffling!

I'd say a pheasant's egg too as it's too big for the bird-table birds, even pigeon's eggs.

We do get lots of Fox poo in the garden!

My guess would be a fox too.

Foxes are known to steal eggs from nests and carry them away and cache or bury them, so that is a possibility.

I wonder, Casdon thought is more of a creamy colour. It could have been in a depression because DH covered the bed with a layer of compost. Perhaps that covered it.

It may be a pheasant egg, they are white, and they lay them in a depression on the ground.
