Blackbird chicks

I looked out of the window today and saw a female blackbird on the rotary dryer. She flew into my neighbour's clematis where it comes over my fence - possibly a nest there?

Then on the way to the station I found an egg shell. It was pale blue with small, pale brown flecks. My bird book doesn't describe eggs so I had to use the internet. It looks like it's a blackbird's egg. So at least one baby blackbird in the area. At least it is not as cold down here for it as it is up north!
