The lovely Dave bought me a 75-300mm lens for my camera and yesterday we went for an xmas walk on the beach. I cannot wait until spring when the light is better...prepare for lots of photo spam.
Yesterday our neighbour had me help with a bird emergency. There was a
starling in her back garden who had gotten caught up in the netting
from one of these. It had managed to get most of itself free but the
netting was still wound around its tongue...and there was still a bit
of fatball left in the netting so it was dragging the poor wee things
tongue out. It was horrifying...there was blood everywhere which stood
out more in the snow. I cannot stand to see animals in pain and
normally i would be a basketcase...but I just picked him up and held
him whilst i had Dave go get some scissors. We managed to snip the
netting off as close to his tongue as possible but it was pretty
damaged. After i had set him down on the snow again he flew away quite
happily so my mind is choosing to believe that he survived.
I can still feel his little hea5rt beating away in my hand...like a phantom limb.
Please don't buy these...or if you do shred the netting and put the fatballs in a fatball feeder.
Connery made a better Bond but as a person he is a bit of an arse....
