I have heard of Badgers sharing an earth with a fox but not pheasants sharing a nest with a Partridge ! Just coz I have never seen or heard of it  don't mean it does not happen though ! 😀

An egg had just dropped from the sky on to our lawn right before my eyes! I just happened to glance out the window at the right time so didn't see the source. I'm guessing an egg stealing bird like a maggie or a seagull.
