Did not see any holes like you do in oak apples Nuthatch. So whether the gall wasp are inside I could not say. The grey wagtail was very elusive it kept flying away if I got to close. But managed to get a few seconds of it.

Very interesting Galls Willpar. Perhaps you could send the video to Winterwatch and ask for their comments.

I've just googled 'rose gall' and it is indeed the winter version of the fuzzy gall of a gall wasp.
Learned something today !!
The grey wag is lovely, Willpar. Such a dainty wee bird

Fascinating and interesting Willpar!! I always thought galls were northern ladies. Learn something new every day!!! Nice one.
