seagulls and eagles are actually different words. i’ve tried explaining that to kezia but she won’t listen. perhaps it’s me that’s got it wrong. it wouldn’t be the first time i’ve got very confused on such things.

another bird appearing to have no head. this picture looks a bit better bigger, so don’t be frightened to click it

mad chicken

this is a fancy breed of chicken which has mad feathers on its head preventing people from seeing its face. unfortunately it also gives the appearance that its head has been chopped off ! (which it hadn’t)

bird of prey

here’s a bird of prey at a country show demonstration. no idea what sort.

peregrine falcon

remember this ? i thought they were photographers, but they were/are actually bird watchers. i attempted to take some photos but failed miserably:

there’s a couple of peregrine falcons living up the Tate Modern tower and they’ve got their telescopes trained on them.

if you are in the vicinity of the South Bank you must go and have a look. they are quite fantastic
here are the two bird-men looking completely in the wrong direction
