[QUOTE="Mouldy, post: 1756389, member: 25743"] [b]mad dogs and englishmen....[/b] Aye Steve, your problem with txting is probably that your fists are too tight :-O Glorious day today, was stuck at home alone watching the kids, [I]I tell you its harder than working[/I], I’m knackered now. Got a couple of hours outdoors late morning/early afternoon, listening out for skylarks and wren, still nowt doing but hey, who needs to be competitive when I can I watch red kites and buzzards displaying all day overhead and all around, it’s magic I tell you. Best counts today seen at any one time : [B]5[/B] [B]5[/B] x common buzzards [B]5[/B] x red kites [B]3[/B] x buzzards, [B]1[/B] x kite, [B]1[/B] x sparrowhawk [B]Highlights[/B], [I]3 buzzards[/I] displaying together, dive-bombing each other, pulling out of dives, twisting and tussling with each other, great to watch. [I]Sparrow hawk[/I] (f) repeatedly mobbing a [I]red kite[/I] like an annoying wasp (talking of which I saw my first wasp today, by the size of it a queen, on the conservatory roof, and a butterfly over the houses opposite but couldn't make out what it was) the two rising steadily to a good height as they circled, the sprawk suddenly pulled in its wings and dropped out of the sky, disappearing behind the houses at such a speed I thought it couldn’t possibly pull up, a scattering of panicking finches, and she reappeared empty-handed over the hedge a couple of doors down. Needless to say not getting much work done…. Cheers Hmmmmmm...May as well put the latest score up (gulp!) [B]OMAHD 58 Mouldy 51[/B]......oh dear [/QUOTE]
