Himself call pigeons 'sky rats'

Hello All, A few nights ago I watched a programme on one of the animal documentary channels about the recent increase in sightings of big cats across the countryside of Southern England. A big game tracker used his skills to confirm the existence or lack of these majestic and very dangerous...

Wow... no "finger trouble" there then.

From Bonnie's reactions at dusk I am certain you are right Marley. However, you should just see the mess on my flowers and plants from the dust and debris - my new side bed was the site of some of the scaffolding poles, and new eryginium have been flattened. I just can not wait for them to...

Just wonderful and so moving, and yes, the tears were there too. I am sure I either read the story or saw a film about it quite some years ago. Thanks for sharing with us, Paladin.

fmay: Canadian Geese are pretty scarce where i live unless you go to the local WWT or similar, so i was delighted to see so many, it's a shame if that is the case. Kedi: I didn't notice it on that particular one because of the grass but i have seen them on wildlife programmes ect... they're...

Inter, he should have put honey on them, it doesn't kill them but it rots their teeth.:D

:thumb:Well done mate!....Thanks for showing us

It did look bloated K, and none too healthy, shame.:(

Although I'm not a stamp collector, I do like to send friends 'greetings stamps' rather than the usual ones. These endangered British insect stamps were released in April this year, but our branch still had lots available (don't know how I missed them before - have a purse full of less...

Sorry for delay in replying walnut, no it's not that one. The colours were split horizontally -:confused:. The top was green, the bottom half red. Is that any use:o I really must start paying more attention - trouble is by the time I get on here I've forgotten details. That happens with...

:D...Don't worry folks,I won't hurt it...well only it's feelings perhaps. I rig up a spring trap that releases a willow stick that whacks the lily leaves. Unfortunatly he has been back every morning since his first murderous spear attack and so I've put up a wire around the pond and the mesh...

Wondered if anyone could tell me - I know swallows return to the same nesting site year after year, but do they re-use the same est, or start afresh each year?I ask because when we moved in to our new house, the garage was full of old swallow's nests. As we re-sited our boiler and washer in...

Yesterday I was sitting on the edge of the Decking, when I felt I was being Watched :eek: I Looked around and saw 2 beady eyes STARING at me, He Wouldn,t budge, just kept right on staring, i ran into the house for my camera, expecting him to be gone, but he kept on staring, I took some...

I had a mouse a couple of years ago that was busy eating fallen soft fruit. I assume they had started to ferment because soon afterwards the mouse couldn't walk straight!!!:D It was so funny watching it, it was walking into tree stakes and falling all over the place. At one point it just sat...
