Clearing the back Garden this morning as the large Ivy which hangs from the Castle Wall has shed lots of leaves over Winter.

As I was clearing up I stumbled across these 2 eggs. There are lots of birds that live in the Ivy however I dont feed them there due to the cats.

I consulted my bird book which my Mum got me for Christmas, inside are a load of bird types and eggs.

After consulting the bird book, there was no plain white eggs so I had to use google and discovered they are Pigeon Eggs!!

Which makes sense as there are a lot of pigeons around and once Marley brought in a Pigeon Chick =(

I as really surprised to see all the different shading and patterns in the different eggs and yet the Pigeons to be so plain in colour and without any markings.

Wow, that looks like a really cool and helpful book! Pretty cool that you've got some pigeons laying eggs around there. I bet baby pigeons are pretty cute! Thanks for sharing the pic of the eggs!

Hey it was a chairty shop find as well!!!

Your welcome. Its not often I find eggs and never a nest.

That is a nice book. I kind of find it strange pigeons would lay eggs so close to cats being in the area.

Yeah you woudln't think so. The ivy does over flow from a wall so I wondered if they could have fell from quite high up maybe. But there were close together on the floor. Hmm....

Those eggs are super cool looking. Cool find! I love finding random wildlife. I hope they hang out, maybe you can train them to take messages?! Hahaha!

Thank You! I thought so too! Was suprised to see them =D
