28th - Slow News Day

Cheltenham, Glos.

Looks like someone (or something) has been busy with my snails! A blackbird maybe, or a thrush...never seen a collection of empty shells arranged quite so thoughtfully though - maybe an avian with a conscience!

Sorry, not a very inspirational pic - best I could do tonight I'm afraid...

Man, that's weirding me out...but how brilliant to find something like this.
Nothing wrong with a record shot, Doug. Inspiration comes when it will.

intriguing array of leftovers..there might be another shot here if you can spot the culprit..

Something has had quite a meal. And got rid of your snails for you!!

Still an interesting shot, Doug. No slowing you down! ;-)

You have fairies in your garden??

Well spotted - at first I thought they were all lined up for a race!

More likely a thrush, a female I'd guess by the tidiness ;-)

How interesting! A bird with a sense of aesthetics perhaps! V
