You're back!

So who do you think are the culprits?

 

[matty007]

Yeah. Im back!. Got locked in the bathroom for 7 Months!!!.

I wouldn't like to hazard a guess as to who the culprits are. Bunch of mindless morons I recon. I just thought it would be an interesting read.

Well you're back and Endy does a disappearing act..perhaps someone should check his bathroom :smirk:

Hmmm, I really can't see the point..and why only females? Is it likely to be egg collecting fanatics? I know some of those rare birds eggs fetch thousands!

 

[matty007]

Yeah. Some guy in Lincolnshire was caught recently with loads of different eggs. He wasn't even stealing them to make money. He was just fanatical about rare birds eggs!!. Funny fella...

We have got 2 breeding pairs of Red Kites and a pair of Goshawks up here. All are under constant supervision by volounteers, because last year all the nests were raided!

Thats great. Red kites are amazing birds. We had a nesting pair of peregrines on Lincoln cathedral this year which have just flown. Watching them hunting pigeons around the towers was great sight. Its good that people are prepared to volunteer to help keep an eye on the declining bird of prey population.
