Keith RW Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Just been out for a very wet walk around a wood on one of my permissions and came across some pheasant egg shells along with another unidentified one not too far away from them, possibly crow but maybe too brown? , do these look like they have hatched out naturally rather than having stolen by an egg thief as no evidence of yolk etc. strange there should be half a dozen in close proximity to each other and no sign of a nest ..... and then there's the other one nearby... thoughts anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 French Partridge and all of those eggs have been predated by crows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith RW Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 looks like its time to have a sit out in that area out for a bit of crow bashing then, not seen any wild chicks around locally as yet this year which this perhaps goes part way to explain why not, if this is a local feeding station that this particular egg thief returns to then I'll see if I can help the wild stock out and even things up a little.
