Grass snake Eggs

Eggs are laid in June and July. The female may lay up to 40 leathery matt-white eggs, often choosing compost and manure heaps as the warmth acts as a natural incubator. The eggs measure from 23-30mm. The hatchlings emerge in autumn.

Ah Jane that is a thought.

They wouldn't be grass snake eggs or something similar would they? I certainly haven't seen any like that :-S

Off to bed now.

Nite nite

AnnG...will do:)

Hello Jane..... hope you had a nice time:)

They are soft, like sacks, very strange!!!

Evening All
I have been away on my hols .Plenty of Blackbirds here and our Robins.Plus a couple of very sweet little sparrows.It seems all very quiet.
Will go and have a look on the blog Jude(not that I will know what the eggs are :-S)

Do let us know if you find out.

ITs not an ants egg....tooo big!!

Yes thank you.....AMAZING, thank you:)

When we looked this morning there were more and some had white cobwebby bits hanging from them like thick white cotton. You can see by my thumbnail they are quite big!!

Ooh, don't know what those eggs are Jude. How big are they? Can't remember if you said. They look like very very large ants eggs.

By the way did you get my e mail of the cat and the dolphins?

Shall just go and look. We have a robin as well but he is not all round like they usually are but quite small and 'skinny'.

AnnG...so all of a sudden you were inundated with feathered friends.....we still have quite a few, not many blackbirds though. A long tailed tit this morning, first in a while, usual couple of robins (again), couple of chaffinch, green finch. C/doves and w/pigeons...are always here. Crow occasionally, but yesterday Vic saw 3. No Dunoncks at the moment:(, very occasionally now the GS woodpecker.

AND SOME WEIRD EGGS....take a look at me blog!!!!!

Well, the birds must think summer is over. The last couple of days we have had a flock of starlings returned to feed, they look like this years juveniles. We also had a young robin on the seed feeder today, the usual sparrow, a collard dove, a wood pigeon, one greenfinch, numerous blue tits and a pair of Great tits. And a couple of days ago there was a flock of blue tits, and in the middle of them, feeding with them was one long tailed tit. And there have also been a couple of blackbirds around. And now we have run out of seed so have to replenish tomorrow. :-)
