Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Surprise among the potatoes
This is what I found when I dug up some spuds:
Yes. It's an intact bird's egg. A bit of a mystery. No animal I know of takes eggs and carefully buries them. I did once see a couple of ducks waddling near that corner of the garden but it seems unlikely (not to mention foolhardy given the proximity of the foxes) that a duck would lay an egg in a potato trench.
Any ideas out there?

How strange. I wondered if it might be a grass snake egg. But aren’t they longer?

I've found the odd egg at my Allotment. I believe foxes are known to do this.

it's done by foxes I also had one buried in my potato planter. I also once found one of my white sea shells from my garden that looks egg shaped planted in there too !

Twice Ive discovered hens eggs in a small planter on the back wall- my neighbour keeps chickens- the culprit was a grey squirrel!
