Sometimes all is right with the world but then again, I'm not a violent person but I could very well make an exception....

@Beenherebefore Awesome story there! I love the live stream. 

Reminds me of this:

@jonsie that's horrible.  At least they got the guy. Hopefully he will get an appropriate sentence.

Thanks for posting this @Beenherebefore, its really great to see and I hadn't seen the thread until now. I think it may be our first live animal stream thread actually :).

Do you follow any other animals and their progress? You should see how many Red Kites we have flying around in my area. Dozens at a time.

Yes, it's a bit like watching paint dry......every so often Mum (or Dad depending on whose turn it is) will shuffle around to get comfortable and you'll see a ball of white fluff and/or 2 brown eggs.

The 2 used shells are still in the scrape.

I was on the M4 the other week and was amazed at the number between Swindon and Reading.....apart from the roadkill they must be after  the "leftovers" after lambs/calves are born. Kites are notorious scavengers.

This is a good wildlife webcam site >>
