Tawny Owl flew over my head as I cycled in to work yesterday morning.

There's a thing on ITV1 on Nov 2nd called 'River Monsters' where they go and catch Goliath Tigerfish after reports of attacks on people in DR of Congo. This it what they find...

These have taken children on the Kali River in India.

Blimey! you'd need a big jam-jar for that!

Eeek! Those teeth are just designed to look like monster teeth!

That Goliath Tigerfish is basically a dinosaur, has to be.

Lapwings are here all year. In fact in the winter the normal breeding population is boosted by migrants coming from Scandanavia, Russia etc. (Don't tell the Daily Mail!) When the weather gets colder they move to lower levels, and if it's really bad they'll go out to the coast.

Wusses.
