 I had pheasant for Christmas dinner once to see what it was about.  OK nothing special for the money.

  I'd have taken that bad boy off you SY for a fiver.

For all you animal enthusiasts - a must have for Xmas

Ever wondered what wild creatures visit your garden at night, or which animal produces the world's biggest poop? Well, here is the book that will solve all those debates and will answer that crucial question, "What shat that?". Ideal for any nature-lover or amateur biologist, "What Shat That?" is an original and authoritative survey of the substance that, like it nor not, unites every living creature, from your pet dog to the giant African land snail. All of the major animal species are covered, together with some of the more wild and exotic species, and full-colour photographs reveal eachtype of poop in all its glory. Handy identification tips and 'Scat Facts' run throughout the book to help you gain confidence in your poop-identification ability.

Wasn't so long ago that I had a 10ft Boa crossing my street, it was lucky that I didn'r run it over. He took AGES ta cross, so long that a bit of a traffic problem developed.

 Couple of summers back, I was a stumbling down Marlborough Road at 4 or 5 in the morning, after a misssion in Covingham,  when I saw an owl on the trees at Bruddel Grove.   It was well excited hooting till its heart was content. I guess the Lawns is good owl country.

not long ago saw a live badger for the first time, just a hundred yards from my house - i was well chuffed.
