A chap who raised him went to give him some flying lessons after a bit of initial training. Went to Mont Blanc and as he paraglided around the Alps, his eagle flew alongside him; an amazing sight. Said his eagle did pretty good dispite the altitude ( some 15,000 feet I guess ) giving him a little problem flying at it. |

The pidgeons are generally racing birds being kept locally. Sometimes see magpies (one for sorrow, two for joy) and there's an owl that I hear often in woodland about a mile and a half away. Sadly there were 5 owls at one time, and some heartless person(s) have shot them and there is only one left. We do have a lot of bats that fly around the village. I'm told they've settled in the loft of a house three doors from me. |

My neighbour from a few doors along the street loves them. Of course they're protected by law, but he says that even if they weren't he'd not disturb them. Better than another village man who, at the time of his death had a whole shed full of owls, none of which were able to look after themselves because they had been kep captive for so long. They had to be taken into the care of the RSPB as otherwise they would have very quickly died if released into the wild. It's a terrible thing when we impose ourselves upon the natural order of things. |
