Not a one off, my lurcher sired by a top whip grey scratch racer was quicker than my salukis and crosses for a bit...MC won't have it I bet

Yep, seen them advertised, crossed with lurchers not greys though. Also more recently seen pocket bully crosses

We were once road siding, and there was a light in a wood, at the same time we both said there's someone on that sett. The light started going up the bank, we both said their walking up the bank. Then the light cleared the top of the trees we both looked at each other and said what the f**k!? It was just a plane coming from miles off... Can't make yours out

Garmin do a basic handset now alpha 10, and a slimmed down collar t20. From memory

Were the dogs wanting at them or away? Guessing he was ratching

Lucas is meant to have deerhound back in it, but both of them are saluki lurchers so there'll be all sorts way back

Quite a few Peewits around home compared to other places, though they have a fair job protecting their young at times like you say. Some land near work is in some sort of wildlife scheme and its actually done away with the Peewits. He plants a seed mix and its left, which has been great for finches and roe, but every year at nesting time they harrow it etc they dwindled away to nowt, madness

Haven't heard Our blackbirds mimic, just sing brilliantly of an evening, love it. Starlings round here have bits of duck and buzzard mixed into there song, and for as long as I can remember they've called like curlews. Red kites are rare, just the odd one seen

Still get greenfinch on the feeders fairly regular, but not many at all. Think that 'fat finch' has hammered them

Saw the first one yesterday morning at work, think a few days later than last year

You do get idiots smashing fences/gates though and leaving shite/litter everywhere, be daft saying owt else

Round work got hit quite hard with myxomatosis this time, think because it had been missed for a good while, unlike other places. But there's already baby bunnies about

Be plenty interested that don't have emails etc etc

Both, but they can't keep it up, nothing can

Can't comment on racing, but I had a lurcher sired by a top whip grey scratch racer. He was the fastest dog off the line on any ground/situation I've had. That's over salukis, saluki lurcher and a lurcher x lurcher with sal in. So the real thing would obviously smoke anything, like has been said just for a while though..
