Not sure if or when Ill have anything to post in the future, but thanks to all the #Glosbirds and others for their news and support.
At sundown yesterday a Tawny Owl calling heard from GRH.... the view from there this morning
Hanging up my Bins for the foreseeable
My first Hair Ice of this Winter seen today and prehaps the most stunning and biggest example I've ever seen
From Google ""Hair ice is a rare, hair-like ice formation that grows on rotting wood from broadleaf trees when the air is moist and the temperature is below freezing""
Buzzard mobbing Golden Eagle.... In my defence, it was a couple of thousand feet away

I think it is a Lapidary Snail (Helicigona lapicida)
From my "fag packet" research, records seem sparse for Gloucestershire west of the Severn and appears not to have been recorded at Symonds Yat Rock before
Does anybody know their land based snails...
A new one for me,
Seen at Symonds Yat Rock. Gloucestershire. UK Predominantly limestone habit and is about 20mm in diameter

Only the second I've knowingly seen and bizarrely within 20mtrs of where I saw my other !
#ForestofDean
Several groups of Crossbill, totalling over 30 birds seen this morning on a 5 mile wander in the Forest of Dean

Peering through the branches from public footpaths can sometimes yield surprising results
