Kay 3,709 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Just wondered what folks opinions on this one are.... last year I spotted a pile of largish stones had appeared around the bottom of 2 trees This little area is where I usually photograph crocus , so I only visit around 3 times when the crocus are in flower I noted the stones last year & thought nothing about it.... I popped there today to see if the crocus are ready to take some pics & I spotted some empty snail shells amongst the stones I guess rain could have exposed them ... I just never noticed them untill last year Is there anything that would place stones like this other than say kids in the holidays .... .. this is on a bank down to a stream ... no notable track other than deer , no scat's to see either Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Is there a river, stream near by? As those stones are from a river bed. And the snails are like Paulus said, Thrushes using the stones as anvils. Dohh "on a bank next to a stream". Teach me to read please.

neil cooney 10,416 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Very unusual as they're on a bit of a mound and not at the bottom of it, plus there's another mound a few feet behind. But the main mystery is Kay, do you think there'll be Crocus's out already ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
