Hills and Guinness!
Anyone see it tonight? FFS i was crying with laughter. A lady running a bird of prey rescue centre was telling countryfile about one of her favourite cases...
Lady- I was telephoned by a lady who said, "i've found a baby bird, i think it's a Dodo".
Countryfile- What was it?
Lady- A baby Pigeon.
Luke Appleyard (Wharfedale)- quick on the dissent

Actually the lady had a point.
Taken from the National Geographic News…
"Molecular analysis of DNA retrieved from a Dodo specimen at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, England, confirms that the bird belongs firmly in the middle of the pigeon tree (family tree!) in evolutionary terms."
So there you are chaps, that lady was not as daft as first thought.
Yesterday's Countryfile had several items that have been the subject of recent discussion on the Forum: raptors (apparently the Isle of Sheppey in Kent is the best place to see them; a long way from fell-running country!); Herdwick sheep in the Lake District; white hares (in the Cairngorms, not the Dark Peak). Still available on iPlayer, I presume.
And not a mention of the mass culls that have been going on in the Cairngorms National Park - https://raptorpersecutionscotland.wo...national-park/
