Hehe, I've seen the guy with his frigging great bird a couple of times. Although the bird actually swooped low over me, the handler was over in an adjacent field and asking the handler anything would have meant oooh.... a 200 yard detour .

In the lane there in Brackenbottom you'll often see (at about 9 am on a Sunday) a chap 'walking' his pet ferret - he lets it rummage around in the nooks and crannies of the dry stone walls. I've once or twice asked him about his ferret but all I've got in reply have been grunts
