  1. Often see one just beyond Rodley where I have my little boat. Not usually mean spirited but I hope Karma does something truly horrific to the person who shot this defenceless bird.

  2. I’ll tell you what’s fucking distressing. Watching these ‘beautiful’ birds snatching ducklings away from their mother and swallowing them whole.
