    Would it be ok to hang a buff from a hat rack?

    We certainly have a lot more buffs than hats.

    A friend & I did a 24 mile walk yesterday; from Bullpot Farm in Easegill, over Casterton Fell to Devil's Bridge, the Limestone Link to Blackdyke Road in Arnside then over Arnside Knott to New Barns Bay and along the foreshore to Arnside promenade ( I call it "The Dales to The Seaside" ). Plenty of moorhen on the canal at Holme and lots of jays in Copridding Wood when descending off Arnside Knott.
    I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!

    Yesterday morning I heard a rustle in a hedge and a massive hare ran 3 feet in front of me. It was that big it was mildly intimidating!

    A barn owl last night between Ilkley and Otley. A first in 11 years plus

    Fuerteventura was fantastic for wildlife. Routinely saw wild goats, some of them in the remote areas were pretty big, one reared up at me and it was over 6ft tall when on it's hind legs.

    Camels, numerous dog attacks, and an Egyptian vulture, plus some fair sized sea-birds which I would have no chance of identifying.

    Back in Cov now, no wildlife, just idiots in the gym and dogshit all over the pavements.

    Sounds about right for modern Britain.

    Driving back from the Alps we saw hundreds of Buzzards, virtually every 200m there was one sat on a fence next to the motorway, the occasional kite and kestrel but there were more buzzards than crows....

    Why go to all the effort of killing an animal for dinner yourself, when there are hundreds of cars around to do the butchering for you?

    roads were quiet but the fields massive....I think the fence was the only place to rest for miles...
