Not much, as I'm sure you'll agree, but it does add something to our understanding of bird behavior and a little bit of sparkle to the simple pleasure of recording the wildlife in/around the garden
Totally unrelated Dylan, but just endured Chris Packham waffling on about Beavers in the UK and the only place they are wild is in remote west Scotland, He was excited that he got within 30 meters of one! And even though he saw a cub, Please take him out on the Kentish Flatlands fishing!! Enjoy your Blogs, I have started recognizing the wild life whist fishing more so since. Regfards Phil
ReplyDeleteHi Phil,
DeleteChris Packham spouts an awful lot of, ill-informed, and highly biased, nonsense about the wildlife situations that exist within the UK. Whilst I have no axe to grind with the guy, I'd rather visit the dentist than spend time in his company. Quite why the European Beavers in Scotland are any more "wild" than those in Devon or Kent, I'm at a loss?
Getting within 30m of a Beaver, what's all that about? Out on the marsh I'm often within a rod length!
Thanks for the comment - take care - Dylan
