Here's some mysterious lumps..... We found those at the base of a Tombstone .... and there were more of them at the bases of other tombstones ... nowhere else ! Ooooooooooo-er ! I haven't seen owt like them before. They might be something the "gardener" has done to prevent, er, something that need to be prevented. The light sandy colour does support that idea. But why were they only next to three of the gravestones ? And why would he/she scatter them about so randomly ?? Could they be little mounds to stick little fireworks in ? Or dinky rockets ? Or to put poison in ? Or were they part of some sort of occult ceremony ? There's lots of plausible scenarios. But I think they were done by some creature or other. The mounds were about 8cm across and 4 cm tall. And the little hole was about 1cm across. If any of you lot out there have any idea what makes "those sorts of things" I would be glad to know. While you're thinking about that, here's Gillian Hills, I wonder why I chose her, and a retro sort of video .... Bird Notes : Yesterday's Highlights.
At 9pm, I did my usual " listening in the dark" owl-monitoring thing ... which in recent weeks has been distinctly owl-less ...but this time there was an ace male Tawny Owl right close to the house ...so close I could hear it even before I opened the back door. The Significant Otter was most impressed. Earlier, a Kingfisher whizzed along the river, very low ... unfortunately The Significant Otter didn't latch on to it quickly enough. Also unfortunately, I can't hear them anymore. It has taken them a long time to recover from those two consecutive very hard winters we had some years ago.
