As I was saying about roadkill.....

[rich p]

.....I've just spent 3 days on the bike cycling from Derbyshire to Brighton and the roadkill stats are as follows:-

3 Blue Tits
2 Pheasants
1 Kestrel
1 Starling
2 Blackbirds
2 Dunnocks
1 Badger
2 Foxes
1 Weasel
2 Rats
1 Hedhehog
2 Squirrels
168 Rabbits (stupid creatures)

2 prs Mens underpants (not my size)

22 Disposable nappies (well, the clue is in the name)

Shame about the roadkill richp, we saw three dead badgers in the Peak District this summer - poor sods.

But it sounds like a nice ride - have you posted details elsewhere?

No, maybe a short piece in T&E later.

Some of the festering bodies were a bit gruesome.

And a partridge in a pear tree

On yesterdays cycle path, I saw one dead rabbit and one dead hedgehog

Both having been half eaten by something

You hit that lot, good hunting mate

Blimey, Rich! Do you go round with a blackboard on your back and record everything a la Charles Darwin?

How do you know? Did you try them on?

And what about the disposable nappies? You didn't say if they fit!

the rabbit count I guessed

I did think about trying the nappies as shorts padding but the sticky tabs had gone

 

[tyred]

Are disposable nappies and mens underpants endangered species now due to the high volume of traffic on the road?

I have a growing photo album of photographs of dead animals I've found while out and about... (yes, yes, it's a bit weird, but they're tasteful pics of rather beautiful animals)...
so far, I have...
3 rabbits, a gannet, 3 moles, a large beetle, a fox, a starling, a pike, an adder, a housemartin, a pheasant, a chicken, some tiny fish left on top of a rubbish bin, a crow, a deer, a red squirrel and a butterfly.

Any Nappies?

last week I saw a femal partridge type thing fly under a car, flap about a bit and then croak it. regret not picking it up as when I came back in the evneing, it was totally splattered on t he road - a good dinner wasted.

also saw a muntjac (sp?) deer, guts splattered everywhere, not a nice site.
