I got mobbed!

[Gloi]

Out riding down a green lane today I must have passed a curlew's nest because one stated calling really piercingly and dive bombing my pony. Two others joined in and I felt like I was in a Hitchcock movie for the next couple of hundred yards until they decided I had been driven far enough away!

That would terrify me. I'm scared of birds flapping.

And somewhere a curlew is telling another curlew
" Oh yes mate , we proper saw her off . She won't be back in a hurry "

We had a pair nesting in the top paddock.

My God I got a telling off every time I went in the neighbouring paddock to bring the ponies in!

Pretty sure a bird was dive bombing my cat as he ran across the garden with his tail all bushy. He's now taken to sitting under the garden charge. Serves him right I think.

Omg that's amazing. Used to see them slot when I was younger, but they're now on the critically endangered list here so I never get to see them anymore. Lovely looking birds.

Curlews make such a wonderful call, I'm down South so none around here.
My daughter had a cat once, little, timid animal but quite sweet. She'd venture out to sit on the back door step but would be dive bombed by the angry resident robins and have to come back in.
