Frank & Polly

@OgmowenOwen I don't have much say in this I fear

@ColdwellRocks Please take care Frank

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

@GethinJones123 Same here to the point I rarely bother anymore

Is everyone/anyone else seeing their timeline on here full of tweets that are completely out of order? It’s been like that for several weeks for me.

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""

@Forest2Furnitur My mutt Polly, looking for squirrels to have a "chat" with

@sarahjsmiff Several miles north of Gloucestershire

@ColdwellRocks Where was this?

Buzzard mobbing Golden Eagle.... In my defence, it was a couple of thousand feet away #Recordshot #CrapWildlifePhotography

@xSorchaLewisx I've not seen split cones before, but the nibbled ones might be due to Crossbill

Found these cones split in half in the forestry. Do you know what has done this? Is this also squirrel. I'm used to seeing the nibbled cones. Thought I'd check can't see it in any of my field books. Or woodpecker? Quite a few about on the floor

My first Redwing of the season, heard at 11.50 over Symonds Yat Rock #GlosBirds

Increase overnight in Redpoll numbers on CTH one flock of over 150 birds seen this morning #Glosbirds

@metoffice @Jacksweatherch1 I saw this one on the Isle of Mull

Ever heard of a fogbow? 🌫️🌈 @Jacksweatherch1 spotted one this week! Unlike rainbows, their ghostly white appearance comes from tiny water droplets in fog. Hence the nickname: "ghost rainbow" 👻 More info 👉 bit.ly/48a04al

@Forest2Furnitur Wow !! Over half a tank of fuel, certainly an unusual happening

There's something you don't see very often

Between 10.30 and 11.30 this morning over 20 Raven East to West over Symonds Yat Rock #Glosbirds

This cell was producing thunder as it passed north of Symonds Yat @UKStormUpdates

Just a few of the 25+ Crossbill seen in grey and overcast conditions in the Forest of Dean this morning

Probable Honey Buzzard seen off Symonds Yat Rock but over Herefordshire, heading south down the Wye Valley at about 11.45am 31/08/25 #GlosBirds

Interesting cloud formation distantly to the north of Symonds Yat Rock, Gloucestershire @UKStormUpdates

Juvenile Crossbill near WGL recently One of a group of 8 coming down to drink #glosbirds

@Ralphs_Ian Thanks for the confirmation

@ColdwellRocks Yes, Helicigonia lapicida.

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
