Saw this from the car this morning. Some very large Bird of Prey. Buzzard? |

@malc a female pheasant hissed and charged at you? What were you doing?! Seriously though, I can only imagine its eggs/young were nearby, they're normally totally silent and extremely flighty. These mushrooms weren't there yesterday. Google Lens says they're probably poisonous and maybe hallucinogenic. I'm not risking them. |

We saw these floofy things yesterday. They were extremely chilled out and were following us about everywhere. |

But yes, I was hoping a better person than I could identify it. Thanks bud, it was almost certainly a Red Kite. What a treat! |

In hindsight I am pretty sure it was on a nest of young/eggs. |

I miss having ducks rock up every day to wash in the pond, eat seed we give them and sleep on our step  It's probably about time I try again to convince Helen we should get some actual pet ones instead of hoping the wild ones come up from the stream, but we were already worried about fox and badger attacks and now we have a dog that's unpredictable around birds that size - around the chickens she's "happy happy happy humans not looking judo CHOP" |

An abandoned camp site in the woods. The only sign of its previous inhabitants was a manky picnic rug and a jar of hot chocolate. Proper old-school horror. |

Attachment: PXL_20210702_113625461.jpg Seeing small rodents might not be peculiar to the country, but I saw three of these in the space of about 5 meters. Not sure if a field mouse or vole. They were tiny ( about the size of the tip of my thumb - from the knuckle to the end of the nail). And this one let me get about 50cm away from it. |

Buzzards are a similar size and have a similar spread of feathers in their wings, but have a convex shape to their tails |

Thanks, Not sure if you mean I look healthy or if you were using Malc as an adjective! The lack of a comma suggests the latter, but either way I'll take it! |

If my red/pink sheep area result of a gender reveal party, then either they really went to town or there are dozens of baby girls around Dartmoor! Attachment: PXL_20210822_095517169.jpg It made me think of the Red Hand Gang Red Lamb Gang |
