i'm a bit fragile this morning
got all upset by the pictures in the paper of a pelican scoffing a pigeon live. and the article said people were filming it and cheering "go on son" to the pigeon. but nobody bothered to go and punch the pelican in its thieving fish-eating throat to help the pigeon not be eaten alive, oh no, they just watched it flap about in terror for about 15 mins. this story has made me feel quite sick!

I haven't seen that
but when I was in the Galapogos I saw a pelican in the sea having his feet nibbled by fish, so it backpeddled a bit and then scooped some up.

True story.

any story that starts with
"when i was in the galapagos" makes me unsure as to whether i should put you on IGNORE out of sheer jealousy.

urgh pelicans are vile, big fishy smelling bastards!

It was 8 years ago and I haven't been diving since

First time I saw one in the flesh I was shocked at the size of it
they're like Pteranodons.

they are hideous
big flat footed things. quite why russia felt the need to give us 4 as a present about 100 years ago is a mystery (they were probably bugged).

At a restaurant in Cyprus
I saw one flop down on a neighbouring table and scoop up the salt shaker. A waiter quickly ran out, grabbed the bird and shoved his hand into it's beakflaps to get it back.
Very surreal to watch!

clearly also not very bright!
unless it liked salt and vinegar on its fish and chips...

she is so cute

Poor Charlie, she'll probably be in bed by the time I get home tonight
no walk around the garden for her
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Fri 15 Oct 2010, 11:26, Reply)

does she walk with you
or run off scratching at things?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 15 Oct 2010, 11:36, Reply)

She starts off with me
and after a few minutes runs off to investigate stuff
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Fri 15 Oct 2010, 11:38, Reply)

it must be a pretty nice life
wander around in the nice clean air with your favourite person in the whole wide world, see the tasty food, eat the tasty food, go to bed.

charlie must enjoy it too.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 15 Oct 2010, 11:42, Reply)

Ha!
I think she has quite a nice life, she could perhaps do with some other chicken friends but they would probably kill each other.
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Fri 15 Oct 2010, 11:44, Reply)

compared to where you saved her from
i should think so! you're like some sort of chicken hero.

I saw a heron up close
a couple of weeks back and nearly shat myself at its Godzilla-esque proportions. Ravens are also unexpectedly enormous.
( Kroney, Fri 15 Oct 2010, 11:10, Reply)

There's a lot of herons near here
in the evening you'll be out for a walk and then one of them will silently fly low over your head and nearly give you a heart attack.

I saw condors once in a zoo. They are freaky things, from a distance they look like short evil monks crouching in the trees.

So it swapped fish

Can't say I see the attraction.

yes but
(i) pelicans are not native and (ii) they are supposed to eat fish exclusively. this is not natural!

I've been once and it wasn't that bad really.
I just hate the flatness of that area. It freaks me out.

I went to a good market in Norwich once.
Good army surplus and bootleg gig tapes. This was in about 1988.
