I got attacked by an effing red winged black bird on my way to supermarket yesterday. Not for the first time either
Bastard drew blood

Is that where the red wing comes from?

Zoe Bell

Possibly. They are vicious.

Hope it doesn't hurt.

So the little nest that was being feathered outside our kitchen window has been plundered, I am assuming by the squawky Magpies that have turned up from nowhere. So I'll not be able to watch them hatch and grow

The ubiquitous bloody magpie- vicious scavenging little beggars- poor little baby birdies, whatever you were

A few exotics from Costa Rica- Roadside hawk and scarlet macaws

My stepson has recently rescued a gosling, now named Gilbert, that found running up the A1. I will try an post a picture of Gilbert in the bath for you all tomorrow.

We now have what appears to be a nest on the ground under the deck! It's round, circulation and has slightly raised edges, so it's not grass that has just blown there� ����

We have a fairly big yard and a couple of years ago, we had to carry fly swatters with us every time we went down the stairs to the beach.

We basically had to wave them over our heads all the time until we got past the red winged blackbirds kill zone.

BristolUK

Don't want to alarm you but it could be one of these

Piff Poff

Well that would be a bit alarming!

Hawk in the back yard.

Nice one Dave..thanks for putting that derailing train from Bristol on track

BristolUK

What, you don't think that was a bird?
