    Did Steel erecting on the isle of dogs many moons ago,I worked for an engineering firm from Lancashire,one of the welders had been a butcher initially,one night we got a deer up near epping,andy the butcher/welder cut it up and the ladies in the works canteen cooked it for us,fun times back then.

    Lots of deer around reading and Woking,I was on the Long Walk at Windsor for the Harry and Meghan wedding,I remember chatting to a bloke with a deerhound and a deerhound cross,and watching a muntie run right across a field behind the crowd.

    I saw a red breasted a few weeks back,not so common around me as the white breasted which I see on a daily basis,there’s a pair of bald eagles local but I haven’t seen them yet.

    No,the best one I can think of is the Peruvian takanakuy on Christmas day,get tanked up on booze and coca leaves,then the men and women from certain villages batter each other in a sort of civilised way on mutual ground with referees,theres a reason the refs have whips,the fights often spill into the streets,theres been a few deaths,brits are super civilised to some people.

    They are melanistic eastern grays mel,but the blacks actually seem larger than the gray version,maybe because black stands out more?I saw a few black grey squirrels in the UK,near Milton Keynes,they are still just greys.

    Out fishing,had one tiny crappie so far,got here earlier than my brother in law so followed a set of coyote tracks down the river,it made a bee-line for every beaver and muskie den on the ice,there was a few otters fishing along the edge of the ice earlier.

    Deduct a point from him mel,he didn't even think about shooting the hare (same as me with the Turkeys).I just had this squirrel 4 feet away?
  21. mackem

    I remember we used to lamp the fox down on Mud-chute,the Isle of Dogs small newspaper had headlines “Gypsies hunt Mud-chute foxes” I went back earlier this year we had the caravans on Grenade street and Rich street,I couldn’t find where we were parked as the area is built up,progress I guess.

    No Wilf,I have never frequented bars nor drank as I saw enough alcohol related violence as a kid to convince me I didn’t need that in my life,but I have seen drunks in other countries having kick offs,it’s a drunks being drunks thing and not confined to Blighty.
