This bird was being chased by magpies and it flew within a few feet of me. I felt it used me as a shield because it seemed to look me in the eye as it came closer and then hid in the undergrowth near my feet, needless to say the maggies didn't come that close. A red kite once checked me out very closely before heading off into a field so that was pretty cool.One moment that was quite the opposite happened last week. I work at a hospital (at least for this week) that has nice grounds with trees and plants and grass etc. Last Friday I had a morning at a hospital in the city centre on the shuttle via the well known "Jimmy's" hospital and the traffic, numbers of people and hustle and bustle really depressed me and I just wanted to be away from all that. I won't enjoy working at these places.Chris.</blockquote>
