Not a lot you can do - it looks like it is possibly a pigeons egg. They will occasionally lay them in inappropriate places. They also breed all year round.

ASs said not a lot you could do with it. I think it may be a pigeon egg,they are noted for being c areless with their eggs,it's surprising there is so many of them.

Nothing you can do I am afraid. Even if you could have, from the time on your post until now, it has been 5 hours, so I doubt they would be viable, they would also need specialist attention if they ever hatched. So you will have to leave it.
