Pine Thrush Egg

Small eggs from birds' nests on the ground – Restore Stamina, Fortify Lockpicking and Resist Shock.

Pine Thrush Eggs sit in birds’ nests on the ground, mostly in eastern Skyrim. Funny thing: you’ll never see the bird that lays them. Restore Stamina, Fortify Lockpicking and Resist Shock are useful, and Weakness to Poison works in poisons.
