I found this egg shell - and a number of other parts of eggs and part of a destroyed nest on the ground near the path near a pond at the Linford Lakes nature reserve. The second photo is of the same egg but this time on our table in the garden. The photo does not show the background colour very faithfully - it is a beige kind of colour not as white as it looks. I looked it up in my bird egg book and given its position and that it looked as thought the whole nest had been predated, thought it was very likely to be a moorhen's egg from a nest near the ground that had been predated.
