Fried or scrambled?

Actually they were nearly scrambled as Lou came across them whilst out mowing the lawn yesterday!

These are eggs of the ‘tero’, or Southern Lapwing. They nest on the ground with no protection, and the parents will dive-bomb you whilst screaming loudly if you get near . . .we have seen more than a few guests (and staff!) running for their lives from a couple of itty-bitty birds!
