(It was perched in a tree so I couldn't see that much of it), then I hoped it might at least be an escapee then a faconer came and coaxed it out of the tree! I think it had been used to scare off the hundreds of gulls that flock around our school, but sadly this backfired considerably when the cowardly BOP lost its fighting talk and sat in a tree looking very bedraggled, while the streetwise seagulls dive-bombed it!</blockquote>
