Oh, my, what a brilliant find. I love how it looks as if it's glowing from within too.

Do you think it's from a bird?
I was quite confused because there was no tree around where it may be fallen down... maybe from a slowworm? I saw some in autumn at this place... :confused:

Come and visit my gallery. There's a lot of more stuff to discover ;P

How big was it?

In the first instance, I too thought from its translucence that it might belong to a small reptile (like, indeed, a slowworm or some small lizard) - but its shape is more like a bird's... :hmm: Bother, I wish I knew more! :X

:confused: It must belong to a bird.

According to this site, it looks similar to (but not exactly like) a white breasted nuthatch egg... :

Maybe it's the egg of the European nuthatcher. But I'm actually not sure because I can't find a picture of its eggs... :(
