Likely species
Most likely a pigeon or dove (feral rock pigeon or similar). Why: the egg is plain white, the nest is a loose platform of twigs on a human-made ledge/shelter, and there’s a single egg visible — those are classic signs of pigeons/doves nesting in buildings. Other garden songbirds usually lay smaller, often speckled eggs and build more compact, cup-shaped nests.

Why you might not have seen a parent for three days
Normal for daytime absences — many adult pigeons leave the nest to forage and can be away for hours at a time; they often alternate incubating duties, especially before hatching.

Feeding trips — parents may take repeated long trips for food if food is scarce, weather forces longer foraging, or one parent is covering other duties.

Disturbance or predators — a loud noise, presence of people or a predator near the nest can make parents avoid the site temporarily.

Abandonment or mortality — less common, but one or both adults may have been killed or driven off; eggs can be abandoned if parents are stressed or disturbed repeatedly.

Hidden parent — the parent may be present at dawn/dusk or sitting lower in the nest, and you may have missed brief visits.

How to check without disturbing the nest
Observe from a distance for a few hours at different times of day (dawn, mid-morning, late afternoon) without approaching the nest. Use binoculars or watch quietly from inside.

Do not touch the egg or move the nest; touching can transfer human scent and increase abandonment risk or break the egg.

Feel for warmth only if you must: very briefly and with a gloved hand, touch the egg’s side for 1–2 seconds. A warm egg suggests recent incubation; a cold egg does not prove abandonment if it’s been a few hours.

When to intervene and what to do
Wait 48–72 hours of no observed parental return before assuming abandonment unless the egg shows clear signs of damage or smell. Eggs can sometimes tolerate short cooling periods early in incubation.

If the egg is cold and dry after 72 hours, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator or bird rescue for advice — they can tell you whether to attempt incubation or let nature run its course.

If you decide to protect the nest: place a low visual barrier to deter predators (mesh or cardboard) but keep airflow and access for the parent; avoid sealing the area. Do not try to incubate at home unless you have an incubator and species-specific temperature/humidity info.

If a parent is injured or dead nearby, call wildlife rescue immediately; do not attempt to raise wild chicks yourself unless licensed.

Quick checklist for you right now
Observe quietly from inside or a hidden spot at morning and evening.

Do not touch the egg or move the nest.

Note any predators, loud disturbances, or recent building work that could have driven adults off.

If no parent seen after 72 hours and egg is cold, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator or animal control for next steps.

Final note
This is a best-probability identification based on the picture description and common urban nesting behavior. If you want a more confident ID, upload a close photo of the egg with a small object for scale or a clear shot of the nest and surrounding bird droppings or feather remains; I will identify likely species and give species-specific incubation guidance.
