Pub Sign?This is a sign that hangs above a mates shop

Your right,a small number in Norfolk in 1855 but the population "Did not persist" in other words died out,theres a massive number of these birds locally,thousands,I pass shepperton most days and the general census of opinion is the local flocks are descendents of the african-queen releases.
-
Maybe a small number in 1855,but they are or rather were very localised around west london/shepperton area,I saw probably 100+ when I was out first thing this morning,I think the shepperton theory is where the current population came from.

Indonesia and the Philippines,both archipelago's and neither are as tourist friendly as LOS but well worth going to if you fancy getting off the beaten track

I watched 5 fox at Lunchtime today in a field very close to Walton,I saw 7 in broad daylight in the same field 2 or 3 years ago,plenty around this year.

This one cost me around £650 mate,I only bought it a few months ago and the boat is in storage for a while But the use I had out of it was enlightening,great for the price

Do a TEFL before you go,spend 6 months there teaching english I am actually online at the moment looking for flex-wing microlight courses in Asia,just found a flying school in Thailand that have the Quik GT450

Heres a grass snake I caught years ago

Go to asia,two and a half k will get you several months in Thailand,cambodia,vietnam and Laos.As paid pointed out dont have a plan,be fluid in your travel when over there,your going to meet people who say I found the most incredible beach/temple/village etc and your going to want to see/do it for yourself. Condoms!You meet lots of backpacking middle-class gap-year types who seem to gravitate towards you for whatever reason :kiss: I did the marco-polo silk-road when I was in my teens,had a wanderlust ever since,interesting times

Excellent program,from the book by D.J.Watkins-Pitchford,I never missed an episode -
Saw this fella in Zamboanga,caught in a gill-net,the future didnt look rosy for him as they are eaten then the shells turned into guitars or polished and the plates used for hair-cimbs or jewellery,the eggs are for sale in Zambo market often enough,the local name is pawikan,its a hawksbill. I was off the coast of Morocco in the med two or three months ago when I went past a turtle,about the size of a bin-lid,maybe a tad larger,I think it was a green turtle?Totally unperturbed as I passed it at about 4 or 5 knots.
-
I did once find this in an outhouse in my garden,I climbed up on the shelving to get a better look and suddenly found everyone else had vacated the outhouse at speed leaving me alone with the snake Also had cobra,python and monitor lizards in the garden at times.
-
Only seen a few adders,more grass-snakes and slow worms here than anything else.

Sounds like fun,how long does the session last,all night?How many coons can be treed in a night?
