Re: walnuts
Daft question ... Any walnut trees in the vicinity?
Re: walnuts
Husk on or off, if the shells are perfectly clean and polished perhaps someone has been putting out shop bought nuts for wildlife.
Re: walnuts
it is certainly a strange one. at Martin down they are scattered all over the place. but thats better than the no theories i have come up with.

Re: walnuts
Wild ones without the husk still tend to have a bit of a dirty appearance so it shouldnt be too hard to discover if they are wild or shop bought. As I am sure you know walnut trees are not native but have been planted here for many years (hundreds) and I have found trees on sites which had previously been inhabited. I think someone might have been getting rid of a load left over from christmas though.
