I was in North Norfolk last weekend with Mrs Garyhun and my parents.

We were letting the Sat Nav take us down some country lanes, well away from any houses, and suddenly, in broad daylight, a barn owl lands on a road sign. I thought I'd hallucinated at first but reversed back and there it was.

About 50 yards up the road another flew by (definitely not the same one as this came from a different direction.

Then, as I set off again, a beautiful Kestrel dive-bombed the hedge on my right to catch some prey.

Never seen such beautiful creatures so close before.

As the title says, I felt very privileged.

Very nice.

Viewed a house last weekend, upstairs looking onto a field and a Barn Owl cruised along, it alighted on a shed thing about 10ft from the boundary line. Found out today the farmer will sell that field to the buyer of the house....

It is a priviledge I agree. Nice you feel stoked about it says a lot about you as well as the bird. Wish more people felt the same way.

I caught and released some slugs this week. Don't like killing anything, though doubt it would make a good film,unlike lions. Maybe in Francebiggrin

I am so like you - releasing snails, spiders and all sorts out of harms way.

I like your French film concept - "les petites limaces" smile
