It's pretty obvious that the dolphin got that guy because of the shorts he was wearing

I don't live in Dublin

Ah okay, so it's out in the midlands I guess, part of the grand canal is it?

We appear to have a Peregrine Falcon nesting near our house here. A mate who can actually identify creatures by looking at them (SORCERY) confirmed that our "bird of prey looking yoke" is one.

my experience of having gone for a walk with a birder is that hearing is far more useful than sight. Coilin was almost deliberately trying not to look, as if looking was a distraction.

I was out on the Medway the other week and saw a murmuration of starlings. They were doing their whole swooping/swirling thing. There was only a couple of hundred of them, but I was stopped dead in my tracks in awe.

Growing up, you'd see thousands of them filling the sky, but only then I realised I hadn't seen a constellation of starlings in years and years. The missus actually asked "What are they?".

Yes, I did google "collective nouns for starlings" just now.

Get the odd murder of crows here. I'm a city boy so I haven't a clue about any of this stuff yet but about once a week they all swoop into my area, sit around for 30 mins or so holding court and loudly getting their affairs in order and then they all fly away again.

"Look at yer one over there, here every week for no reason, what a dope!"

There are a few falcons that nest in a field about a mile and a half from here. They normally hunt solo I think but earlier in the year I was out walking the dog and I saw 3 of them in the air together circling around. I surmised that it was a parent teaching chicks to hunt.

I saw a spider catch a bumble bee and kill it and wrap it and drag it away to his hole to be eaten

I forgot I took a picture of it ..the bumbler was still alive at this stage! Wriggling he was.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Get away from her, you bitch!

 

[seanc]

Y'arrr, that'll replace the whale in my nightmares.

Yeah, he looked fairly cool. No idea what type of spider it was. I really need to brush up on my species identification skills.
