Well you had best find some Dodder and soon !
I’m on it!
Someone reckons it’s dog sick slime mold, but they’ve never seen it in that colour….

No photo, as is often the case with these kind of sightings, but the other night whilst having a stealthy creep over the garden (to see if the chucks had any furry, scaly tailed visitors in the shed) a barn owl took off from the top of the chuck pen as I got near, floating silently up and back over to the wood opposite us.

What chickens do you have?
I miss keeping them. I used to have buff Orpington and a few different varieties of bantam.

Permanently hungry and very pecky ones
.I'm not quite sure what they all are, we have about eighteen, the wife chose them when we got them a couple of years ago after our last couple expired due to old age. I don't think there are two the same. There are couple of different coloured Araucanas, a couple of varieties of Legbars, Black Rock, Sussex and a few hybrids. They came from a place up near Tow Law. We had a Buff Orpington years ago and we've got four bantams in a separate pen now, they are much better behaved than the big ones and don't fly straight at your head when you go into the shed. We've had chucks for about twenty years now and of course the idea of food waste doesn't exist!

3 hours of work before being caked in crap became unappealing.
This afternoon I made some sourdough crackers. As I was washing my hands I looked up….
The above are phone pictures. I dashed for my camera, obviously the macro lens was attached! A quick lens change-
I’d assumed a Sparrowhawk would turn up eventually.
Don’t be greedy, we like the sparrows!

Having been described as a doddering old fool, I thought I'd better get out and look for some, but I've now given it up as a wild goose chase.
Apparently the last (only?) sighting in Notts was a rather dubious report "near Mansfield" in 1875.

On this afternoon's ride there were loads of male pheasants.
They must know the weekend and the DFL's are a few days away.
Have to admit I do like slow roasted pheasant.

I couldn't believe this. A parrot on a pub sign in Somerset today. Beautiful turquoise and orange.

If you zoom in and squint a bit you can see the soup dragon….
