2 Buzzards walking around in a field, a Ford Ka on its roof in another field. Speed trap, police pulling a body out of a stream and women in a 4x4 ripping her driver’s side roof bar off as she caught it on the side of an overhanging mobile home being taken towards a caravan park on the north side of St Andrews because she could not wait.......:laugh:

Last night, a few rabbits and a squirrel and then I got to chase another pheasant .. I was going down the quiet lane into my village; this particular section is just about one car wide, banked edges with hedges, downhill. It's a no-through road with few houses on it so I tend to pick up a bit of speed.

The pheasant was in the road, and 'cos it was hemmed in by the hedges, it couldn't easily run off to the side so it ran wildly down the road in front of me for a time, zig-zagging back and forth. While I scrubbed off a fair amount of speed and sat behind it, cackling manically. ;) Eventually, it remembered its wings and off it went.

This morning I heard - but didn't see a woodpecker. There was plenty of daffodils out which is always nice on a crisp bright spring morning. And I spotted the Greater Crested Groundsman on a golf course doing groundsman things. Which, that early in the morning, seems to consist mostly of having a sneaky bit of practice. :laugh:

I get that a lot but with sheep!
 
My short 5mile ride was pretty uneventful saw plenty of evil grey squirrels ;) and a few dogs. Some of the dogs were in a cage on the front of one bloke's trike.
Found it quite funny what I heard this morning, a bloke ringing his bell quite a bit at other cyclists. He was very polite when he passed me but as there was 2m gap on a very flat section of path I wondered why he bothered to ring his bell. When he did overtake he almost immediately pulled in and was going slower than I had been (yet he was on a road bike and I was on a heavy wide tyred hybrid). I couldn't resist :laugh: I quickly accelerated to 23mph+ and left him there.

Ouch. I'd rather hit a pheasant than a sheep .. and, of course, sheep don't have the flying option. Not without a catapult anyway ..

Actually, I had a bit of a fight with a ram on a walk last weekend. We were crossing a field of sheep when the ram came trotting over to us .. he was being a bit aggressive and nudging me with his head which was scaring the Little-LCs so I kept pushing him away with my forearm. Of course, he saw that as a challenge so was getting more and more pushy. Lucikly, we left the field soon after.

Then I thought afterwards .. he probably outweighed me and had the advantage of hard pointy things on his head. :laugh:

Sheep are quite funny. The last time I went on a ride with TheDoctor we were confronted by three sheep all in a row trotting towards us in the middle of the road. The buggers wouldn't move either until a car came up behind them.
