Are they hard-shelled or leathery. If leathery then they are snake or turtle eggs. If they are hard-shelled then they belong to a bird of some sort.

You might want to either put them back or build a make-shift incubator for them.

There aren't really any wild snakes or turtles in the UK

On a serious note, I suspect finch or swallow eggs. Mind washing them a little with water to get the dirt off and photographing them from closer up on a white sheet? Perhaps put some reference object next to them, a ruler or a coin.

quail eggs.

(also, the honey badger just dont give a sh*t)

[The Laughing Man]

Why'd you remove them? Good job killer! lol

If you'll put back them, I think their mom will leave they alone because you touched them. So you basically killed them.

Actually, we do have a few snakes, turtles and lizards

Although, I think the turtles are a recent thing. Snakes and Lizards are a definite though

This has been disproved several times.

looks like lizard eggs.

[Mando]

they are blackbird or quail eggs (dependant on size). And also being around november they have probably been stashed by a predator to have later.

You asked...

Definitely lizard or turtle eggs. At first I thought maybe rabbit but from seeing easter eggs I know those are too small.

What is mammal-like?

I believe he was joking also.

I think he was referring to it being a marsupial, which IS a mammal but has several distinct characteristics.
But yeah, it was probably a joke.

[roguekiller23231]

could be slow worm eggs. they are very common across UK.

Edit_

actually after checking slow worms are live bearers. but since they are covered in soil, they are more likely to be from a reptile then a bird.

how big are the eggs?
