    The Twiglet (scoffus loadus). Sighted mainly at Christmas in or around domestic dwellings and at "buffets" - a similar sight to starlings feeding.

    Looks to me like some predatory mammal has 'hidden' these eggs, unless anyone knows differently?

    could be a squirrel or a badger thats stowed them away,unlikey to be a fox i would have thought because they normally eat everything in sight,i know squirrels hide things,and dry there food in branches.
    lifes good ,but even sweeter under the stars
