First for me

[solmisation]

Riding home from work tonight,going through a council estate I came across this, a Harris Hawk tethered to a frame in someones front garden. He was busy vacuuming, and as I cycle past these houses most nights and have never seen this before, I presume he keeps this bird in his flat!

You sure it's not part of a Paisley hoose breaking team?

The hawk was vacuuming?

Could well be, he also had a rather large dog in his garden, maybe it was "keeping the edgie", or the look-out if you don't speak Glaswegian.

Grammar lessons for me then next week.

they do have good eyesight and can get a birds eye view of the area, sounds like the perfect lookout

Do they deep fry them up your way?

Only when we run out of Mars Bars.

"Deep fried Hawk and a bottle o' ginger..."

Is Marianne Faithful still buying them by the lorry-load?

Very beautiful bird when you see one close up. I used to watch a guy training / excercising his near the power station in Peterboro.

I can't remember what birds they had now, other than owls and a falcon handling session, but they used to have birds of prey at Brookside Garden Centre in Poynton, Cheshire, shame they got rid of them.
