I think you can see Buzzards over Hambledon these days!
Nah mate Gobbins go accy shoplifting.
What about Hollands pies? Or have they gone bankrupt?
Still going as far as I know. Had some in the Summer when we were over, lovely stuff !
Sure are Dave had one for my lunch on Saturday, Peppered Steak, very nice
I think he did find it, or somebody found it and identified it by the ring on it's leg. Anyway, as far as I know, he has got his bird back.
Good of him to let folk know then.

It wasn't him who put it on the messageboard. He doesn't even know how to switch a computer on. I don't think he knew it was on here. It was his mate's daughter who put it on.
Thats a good idea Jeff, think all blokes should ring their birds
No it's not me katex. I have had less hair than the bird for at least 45 years and not just as handsome as it either.
The chap is either part owner or employee of the Birds of Prey Centre between Settle and Ingleton. If you click on thelink there are a some photos of the same chap and also loads of information.
Me and my missus have been quite few times and always enjoy the demos and a decent plate of scran in the excellent cafe there.
They allow some birds to fly to your arm after being released by the owner of the centre. He gives you a glove first.

Didn't there used to be an Owl sanctuary on the way to arrow-in Furnace Gremlin, can remember calling in there many years ago when I was working in the area
Is that where you took the photo of yourself and the vulture?
I assume you mean Barrow in Furness Jaysay.
I went to Barrow many times when I was driving tankers and I seem to recall a sign somewhere along the way but it's must be over 25 years ago. I retired 11 years ago and worked the north east for ten before that and Scotland for a few years before that. Notice I never got the southern contract, I had to keep the MD in G&T to avoid it.
It was at Ravenglass I recall seeing signs for it when driving by and saw it in a brochure - not sure if it's still there though?
Edit - I just checked and it is still there!http://www.owls.org/

Ya it was Barrow Gremlin, and ya its 30 years since I frequented those roads too, so could well not be there now

The other day ... over the moors where I work ... a batch of noisy seagulls flew over with another bird that didn't fly the same way.
Read later in the Observer that the tip was using Peregrine Falcons to scare the Seagulls off .. must have been this.
Had sorta' mentioned this on another forum .. have been asked why should they wish to frighten off the Seagulls as they would eat lots of the garbage ... presume because they make a mess of some sort or maybe noise nuisance ?
Kestrel ... sure you can answer this for me..
