Greatest Life Risk? (1 Viewer)

. I climbed over a normal looking fence to secure better views, only to receive a rather nasty shock to my more intimate parts. Which just goes to show, any bird can be dangerous if you're stupid enough![/QUOTE

To Maclean decendants at least

If I have to "go before my time" as it were, id rather do it doing something crazy, stupid and fun, whilst searching for a crippler! Maybe i'll go and have a chat with the Sentinelese...

Nasty critters hippo's...calculated risk eh?! [glad it was worth it]!

ps...perhaps ought to start new thread...'dumbest thing you've ever done in order to see a bird'.... Not that i'm saying anyone's 'dumb'...just we all do things...that with hindsight...are very foolish..[but make great 'tales' later on]! Best birders in the world are mostly 'barking' mad...one way or another

Yip, I'll admit it, dumb indeed, but fun nevertheless! What was slightly dissapointing is that my wife encouraged me to go and look for the Pel's, fully aware of the risk I was taking:t:

Seeing as you are in South Africa Andrew.....i don't suppose your wife has suggested 'having a dip' outside a 'great white' cage has she?! If so....maybe she's trying to tell you something... 'Oh...the water looks lovely Andrew...don't worry about those little 'fishes' with the big jaws...they won't bite...'!

ps...one day i wud like to get to see a seal hunting great white leap right out of water...think this only happens at one 'spot'...the deep water trench thing...forget wot it's called now....awesome creatures....one of the best things i've ever seen....:t:

pps...i'm sure your wife had the best intentions!

Yep, I'd say they are the ones that would incur the greatest real risk.

Algerian Nuthatch is getable again, the political situation has calmed.
