A lady contacted me who encountered an unusual mollusc feature whilst out walking near Winchester. She says: “There was one big pile of empty shells and then several smaller piles. They were all the same species of snail (Cornu aspersum) (see picture). One big pile consisted of approximately 30 shells and then there were several smaller piles, of about 40 shells in total, at the side of a 4–5 metre stretch of path, near to the vegetation. They were found north of Twyford Down, parallel to, and very near to the motorway. Grid reference SU 489 275.” It might just be an example of children playing while out on a walk, but does anyone have a better idea?
