After hatching their nestlings, birds carry the egg shells away from the nest so as not to betray the nest's location to predators. If you're lucky you may find an almost complete example.
This one is a songthrush's, I think.
The songthrush is one of the many birds to be heard in the dawn chorus.
If you can, join me on a dawn chorus walk on Monday 2nd May. We meet by the field gate of Thornbury Leisure Centre and set off on the walk at 5.00 am.
