Roadkill... and other wildlife

[Orange]

Nice warm (for November, T-shirt warm in fact!) ride out this morning - one dead squirrel and one squashed flat sparrow, I think? Surprisingly no badgers for a change, though I kept clear of the main roads this time.

Live wildlife included a weasel that streaked out of the hedge on one side and disappeared into the hedge on the other side of me... and a farm cat, idly staring at me as I cycled past.

Seems to have been a lot of dead squirrels recently.

Dead muntjac and a squished weasel (it must have gone POP!)
Spent a couple of rural trafic free miles in the sun this morning with a Red Kite 30ft above me, that was lovely.

The weather this morning was really nice! Sun was out, no wind and a blue sky! Got out for a cycle road down country roads, but only saw cows.

On the subject of roadkill, there has been a dead badger by the side of the road for the past month on my daily commute.. I sprint past it now, as it has really started to smell.

Can't say I noticed anything apart from the dead fly I spat out!

Is that even legal?

Red Kite was my best siting today.

ps numbnuts, I love that song from your sig. Lamb Lies Down is an awesome album.

Today I saw about a dozen pheasants and about half a dozen ducks....to be fair, we cycled past some guys who had been shooting. It wasn'ta nice sight, but they were nice fella's.

Anyone eaten squirrel? I've cooked one (it was fresh roadkill), and it was delicious - a surprising amount of delicately flavoured tender meat. Yum. Seriously.

I was out looking for a lion last Sunday.
I'll let you all google it and have a laugh.
