They're the closest to us in fish form. They basically know what's going on. Their tactics are better than Steve Bruce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I remember the night Michael Jackson died and I looked out the kitchen window about three in the morning and saw an Hare running around, which I thought was kind of weird at the time but apparently they're nocturnal.

Withnail Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The correct answer is the wombat. Not the hairy nose. That would be crazy nonsense. Common wombat all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love cheetah art and have it dotted around the house. Similar with birds of prey, but more common. Common Buzzard. A good walk for me is seeing as many of them as I can. Easy to spot soaring but fairly elusive at lower levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked the boy up from school one day last year … it’s a wee bit remote and as we came to a junction between two fields a buzzard came swooping down inches from the windscreen and grabbed a rabbit from the side of the road and flew off again was a spectacular thing to witness 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Recently in the park I accidently called a robin a 'prick', I was watching it as it kept flying at another bird which seemed normal to me as I think they're quite territorial, but then suddenly it flew fast towards my face this made me panic and I spilt hot drink on my coat and on the memorial bench I was sitting on, I couldn't help it and shouted - but under my breath, 'prick' the robin landed on arm rest and because i was still shocked and angry I shooed it away before wiping the bench with my coat sleeve as it's in memory to someone. I didn't want to stay on that bench after that, so moved, and in a tree I saw another bird, one that I'd never seen before, was very light orange with grey head and tail, beak looked kind of like a bird of prey's but not sure if was as I've looked at images and can't find a match, also when it spread out it's wings they had a really pronounced circular shape, like it's wingspan looked like a semi-circle.

I recommend a book by Peter Dare about Common Buzzards. A great history of them dating back to early post-war in Devon, Snowdon, and The Lakes.
