You mean nobody's told you...........? ;-)
Anyway, isn't it thrushes that snails parachute from? Usually to a
rocky place?

Oh for more thrushes! I've seen two this year. ;-(

(Boast warning). - I saw a red kite hovering over some prey yesterday
at Barnsdale Gardens. What an amazing sight. However, I was so
fascinated by it that I forgot to get the camera out and then fumbled
so much I didn't get a pic.

You have what Paul Theroux calls a "snapshot of the mind" - even more
important.
