abandoned

So after a short while of watching the bird family in the magnolia tree.. i noticed that they had flown the coop. Sadly when I looked in the nest I found an unhatched egg. Beautiful yet lifeless.

Such a pity, I wonder why. Lovely shot of the nest and such a pretty egg.

Ahhhh! Life is cruel sometimes.

[Merrelyn]

It's such a pretty egg. What a shame that it was abandoned.

[Angelika van Rooyen]

The egg has a wonderful colour, they must have had a reason for abandoning the nest.

Sad...but nature has its reasons. Beautiful shot.
