Correction I'm a chalk spring geek, glad you liked the place it's beautiful, when I went in February it wasn't overgrown there were 2 main springs running the other one is about 20-30 meters away from where you were sitting. The children hills are an amazingly beautiful and unique place.
Isn't it just mate, thanks for letting me know! I'm gonna have to go back and find the other spring you mentioned, looking at the lidar map I think I might know where to look. By the way I did look for the secondary spring at barton a few weeks back, I found the stream at the side of the houses next to the horses but the spring itself seems to be in somebody's garden from what I could see.
I will hazard a guess that you have seen the other set of springs at Barton hills and it is just a misunderstanding between us if not on your ash die back video from Barton at 9.24 you are staring at the small stream on the right where the water from the springs i mention joins the main stream.
Thats very interesting to hear ross, no ive never heard of the kellis cat. Makes sense though, if you breed a Liger, its bloody huge... cheers i shall look into that!
Hi Jim I see in some of your videos you’re interested in big Cats. Two weeks ago I saw a big cat bigger than your average moggy probably the size of the small labrador completely black in the highlands of Scotland. In an area where there is no human inhabited space for miles. it wasn’t just me that saw the thing but my wife and my mother-in-law and two children so I had a reference point as to what I believe I saw and confirmation from others. Have you heard of the Kellis cat? instead of pumas and panthers and so on I believe we probably need to start with these animals. They’ve been in Scottish mythology for centuries and have even been caught interestingly It’s a hybrid of a Scottish wild cat and domestic but ironically turns out larger than both. I actually believe this thing was a black leopard at first.
Cheers Ross, no I have never heard of the kellis cat, thanks for the info I shall look into that. It makes sense, if you breed a Liger it's bloody massive!
@@jim.m75 Carrion Crows have a flat tail, Ravens are a wedge shape. Rooks have a bald face. The biggest clue is Ravens wingspan is nearly 6ft. Also Ravens 4 distinct fingers over Crows 5. Cheers
I stand to be corrected but I think I read a geological report saying that the stream doesn't run far and disappears back into the chalk. Also I think you did see the second spring but because it was such a wet winter and the time of year I went it was a more prominent feature.
