mackem 23,824 Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 I was on a pier earlier this year,chatting to some guys fishing and watching the pelicans I wasn’t even focusing on the bird that dove and picked up a mackerel until it was flying off.Best place to see them in Europe is right now on Gibraltar as they gather to cross the straits to Morocco and Africa beyond,possible to see dozens in a day. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryaldinhio 4,139 Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 When I was a kid my old man used to take me to a place near Carlisle called Lonsdale lakes on fishing holiday every May. Saw an Osprey there on more than one trip. Too young at the time to realise what a rare sight it was!!!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cant see any cruelty there, just an animal doing what it takes to survive, its what happens in nature animals kill other animals to live 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oxo 385 Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 Saw a Osprey at Bassenthwaite, from the bird watching spot at Dodd wood. Big fish eagle perched on top of a dead tree through top of the range Swarovski telescope, our lass couldn't even see the f***ing tree! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bush Rummager 3,766 Posted October 1, 2023 Report Share Posted October 1, 2023 A Pine Marten turned up at Spurn point recently. I've been there once.. it's strange and remote place. Apparently it had travelled 60 from a release site on the Yorkshire moors! Rare pine marten makes 60-mile Yorkshire journey WWW.BBC.COM The animal, nicknamed Two Dots, travelled from the North York Moors to the East Yorkshire... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t always believe what they say mate they are breeding and releasing predators around the country at an almost agricultural rate, first otters then polecats now pine martins popping out the woodwork everywhere, beavers to colonising every corner of the country miles from any official release sites the mad scientists playing god will be the undoing of everything one day 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
