You are right Klondike in that the hunting season starts on October 1st  but the poults ( young birds) are released from the rearing pens at the end of July beginning of August  ) .
Usually after the crops have been cut  so they can roam the fields and get a bit bigger before the shooting starts.
Some do get eaten by foxes but they release hundreds of poults so some always survive .
They are quite literally  everywhere around here at the moment .
For what it's worth  it's illegal to shoot peasants on a Sunday in the U.K. .

Vicious creatures that will turn on you in an instant if disturbed during an eating frenzy. They have ne known to strip a male to the bone in seconds

Quote from: Alex on July 20, 2026, 08:25:20 PMI had a terrible accident once with a goldfish.  It affected me dreadfully and I can't talk about it, even now.
I feel for you, you can get a nasty suck from a goldfish

I have just been scrolling through. Facebook and smiling at some pictures of kids in fancy dress outfits, it took me back to a time when I was courting my good lady and attended a fancy dress party at the hospital she worked at. She was dressed up as an egg and I was dressed up as a chicken...well to cut a long story short...it was the chicken

Morning all.   Nice and cool here so far.

Nothing exciting happening that I know of,  so just a nice peaceful day I hope.
