king 11,972 Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I was about 13yr old staring out of my bedroom window. And seen a blue tit dropping into the top of a washing line pole a few seconds later a crow landed on top of the pole and reached in with it's beak and pulled him out and flew away.to eat him I presume.. It's allways stuck in my mind for some reason..I've never seen it happen since What 1 off have you seen... 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 26,005 Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 seeing rabbits and hares swimming rivers to avoid the dogs chasing them....but the best one was a hare running up a hollow log to avoid capture by my bitch Sally the log went from the ground at one end where the hare went in and went up at an angle to about 5 foot of the ground ....the bark was quit thin and we could touch the hare in places where there were tiny holes....we left her there in peace... 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,751 Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Hooked into a pike on light spinning gear when I was a kid, it came cruising through the water in front of me like a f***ing submarine, flared it's gills, opened wide and chucked up adult brown rat! The big girl then whipped her tail throwing the treble and cruised off one way while the rat sank into the depths. Not particularly strange but cool. 9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,054 Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Ok in the last week I,ve seen a barn owl hunting during daylight watched a beautiful male sparrowhawk out hunting and 3 roe all on my daily walk and this morning before driving back to Bristol for my babysitting duty’s I saw a lesser spotted woodpecker hiding in a hedge from the bitterly cold east winds all puffed up looking more like a blackbird than a woodpecker which was a first, also see ravens most days but they seem to be doing better than most so no longer a rarity, over the years I,ve seen bitterns water rails and a red fronted grebe which was quite plain and boring but exceptionally rare as I found out when I googled it, also get to see the odd perch and pike striking at all the roach hiding under my boat and have seen a bit of otter sign around the marina when the river is flooding Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ran out to check the little guy out and I was obviously so fascinated by the experience that it didn't once cross my mind to take the opportunity to flatten the little c**t! I'm sure to anyone reading this the strange part of it isn't the mole bit but the girlfriend bit. c**ts.... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
