Your Wildlife Sightings!

Like yourself BA, I like animals that wouldn't be everyone's first choice. I love Giraffes and Moose. Cool as * animals.
I also love Humpback Whales. I love most animals but some more than others

 

I was obsessed with sea creatures when I was a child. The blue whale in particular was fascinating because of its sheer size compared to humans. I would sit and read non fiction books about sealife. My Grandad on my mothers side was a marine biologist, he dedicated his life to studying fishes and used to take me to the aquarium when I visited him.
Before he died he took my whole family to South Africa in 2010. I saw giraffe, Rhinoceros and crocodiles all in the wild.

 

@johnboy19 I saw this a while back and I still find it hilarious. The last thing you should do when completely drunk is to try and mess with a moose.

 

Complete arseholes and totally lack the fine brain of the Moose. In fact those idiot humans must brains of actual Mousse

 

Oh apparently there was a huge flock of very happy Sheep seen yesterday, * happens i suppose

PS It must be said they are a lot safer than a horde of Zombies

 

Thanks BA. Humans can be idiots sometimes.

 

I can imagine there's fluffs of cottonwool lying all about the place. Could be a major clean up needed and animal welfare involved lol.

 

A few from a fine and sunny Colgagh (according to the weather forecast it's the last fine and sunny day for quite a while) last week.

 

Love the Female Reed BUnting Johnie. And, great pics

 

Springwatch is back It was brilliant as usual last night, the highlight for me being that fine 37 year old Irishman with Autism and his love for recording bird sound, very moving and fantastic. A total inspiration for many.

 

There's a fantastic documentary about him on RTE player Pete, i'm nearly sure it was on the BBC a few weeks ago so you might get it on the Iplayer, coincidently i'm going to the Hawkswell theatre here in Sligo on Thursday evening to see him give a lecture on birdsong.

 

Cheers John.

 

A wee update on the lecture, I went down to the theatre this morning for a ticket, no ticket to be had, it's completely sold out and has long line of people waiting for a cancellation, I was * sure I could saunter in to the box office and come out with a ticket, just shows the popularity of young Sean.
