that’s not a bird (but that’s the point)

avoid wandering animals. but this pile of wool makes it look like a sheep has exploded.

i wonder if this is some natural phenomenum (doo do, d’dah dah)

i love their little flourescent bottom jackets. helps them show up if you view them from above.

this man completely blocked the pavement with his remote dog on a lead. he was oblivious. as appears to be the chap on his mobile phone.
the dog was on one of those retractable lead things and just as mr mobile was about to trip over, the owner pressed the retract button and the dog went flying across the pavement like a windy tape measure thing.

eeeeeeel looking a bit dead on a pavement. gor blimey govnor

a smart dog dressed in mulberry. every dog should have a coat and matching cap.

this little plastic chap was about 2cms long and was next to our car in a car park. very interesting.

i walk past this sign every evening, but it’s only in the last week or so i’ve started looking at it.
last night i took a photo for you and here it is.
but i’ve been wondering – how do they know it’s a humped zebra and not a striped camel ?

it struct me this morning that pigeons survive so well in london becaus they are camouflaged against the grey-ness of the sky, river and buildings.
doesn’t stop them being virmin though !

here’s your comedy stuffed animal pictures of the week. it’s from flamingo park on the Isle of Wight. They have a small display of statues and fluffy animals in a barn you can look at if it’s raining.
For some reason someone had dressed up these two flamingos on the right in sailor’s gear. even more disturbing was the dreadlocked saucy-santa wearing a festive fluffy bikini.
esther pointed out that they looked like real flamingos which had been stuffed. which they did.
