The wildlife

Pootling around the lanes of Norfolk yesterday, going over to check out the
boarding cattery fro the Unfit Family's felines, a kestrel landed in the hedge
at the side of the road and remained there as I cycled by, its head swivelled
as I cycled by, so it was watching me the entire time. Lovely bird up close.
Then today I passed a field of black-faced sheep - several of which were lined
up at the gate, as I cycled by and they too stared intently as I went by.
Obviously the sight of fatbirdonabike intrigued them ;-)

Cheers, helen s

They were probably contemplating what sort of food you might have in
your packpack. The Soay sheep where I was working last week come and
stand on my feet to sniff what I'm eating. They definitely like
Indonesian spicy crackers, but turn their noses up at tuna salad.

I found the sheep on top of Y'Garn in Snowdonia like Mars bars.

Then they were demonstrating just how dim sheep are, as I didn't have a pack of
any kind ;-)

Yosemite squirrels are another matter..

As my regular daily run is out of town I see a lot of wildlife on my
travels. I've noticed that many creatures are less wary of a cyclist than
they are of a human on foot.....

One can fully appreciate the fascination.. :-) It's a topic that, in
general, simply doesn't get enough serious research IMHO...... ;-)

LOL, I'm glad to say I wouldn't know that one :-)

You might find the farmers wouldn't appreciate you feeding their livestock
Mars bars....... Or ow't else for that matter...

Ah yes! I remember the poster well......... though I can't help suspecting
the sainted Mr Mercury was a tad insincere in stating his enthusiasm for
ladies..... well rounded or otherwise.....
