He mentioned to me about a job he did at a local farm last week and while he was working away, the farmer struck up a conversation which got round to wildlife. My friend being a keen amatuer naturalist, was delighted by this and commented the farmer knew just a little about nature to be dangerous.Or so my friend thought.He mentioned to my friend that he had 4 Barn Owls in one of his barns. They had been there for some time. My friend was even more delighted, as these birds are rare here. The farmer went to show him the owls. My friends joy turned to dismay when he found that the 4 Barn Owls were in fact 4 white Fan tailed Pigeons!!And they say farmers know everything?</blockquote>
