Egg ID?

I found the egg (photo attached) in the middle of a lawn I was mowing today in Holder.  It's intact but a bit the worse for wear.  I am wondering which species it belongs to - my guess is Magpie - and how it may have got there given that there are no obvious nests in the tall trees in the immediate vicinity (the nearest tree being about 20 metres away).  Any ideas?
 
Also in Holder, on Sunday while glued to the TV watching the Raiders achieve their excellent win, I was momentarily distracted by the sight outside of a large "V" formation of Straw necked Ibis.  I couldn't get an accurate count but I would guess at least 40 birds flying directly over my house - a noteworthy first for me in this area.
 
Cheers 
 
Rod
