Sorry SB! I was very excited about the Curlews :o

Saw another badger tonight!

Spotted a kestrel by Canal St Manchester (:o er, I was just running past...honest!:D).

Was happily tucking into a KFC chicken piece on the floor. I stopped and watched it for a bit from a distance of about 3ft. Just kept eating and looking at me.

:cool:
