Quails eggs for sale

Right off the beaten track by a gate on the edge of Whitchurch Down I found these in a glass case. In front of the gate was a stream I had to walk through to get to it!

@ jolie37 - Jo, they are eggs, they don't "do" anything :-)

They were locked in to prevent them from being stolen!
