Outdoorsy Shite Top Trumps: March

[Slubberdegullion]

Flora or Fauna.

Extra points for a photo.

Handicap will apply to those in Forrin. Monthly win will not automatically go to, for example, a Cougar spot. The Cougar will need to be doing something awesome, like fighting a bear or doing sudoku.

Today I saw a blackbird with one leg.

Can I enter my 300 cranes please? They were flying in a pretty cool V formation. Not synchronized though.

We found a noctule bat hanging on a fence post in the garden. It squeaked at us. Was v cute, but huge.

A Robin was perched 30cm away from me as I was clearing leaves in the garden. It was watching me so closely, turning its head from side to side and warbling in a slightly muted way. It was so captivating. Not in the least big scared and so very close. It was a lovely encounter though not very exotic

Here is a picture of a Helvellyn sheep. Some hot cross buns and some other random photos

Hehehe at the handicap for people in Forrin. It's too easy there.

I saw a caterpillar today.

I saw a firecrest. Watched him for ages. Beautiful.

And watched crazy people jumping into the river today. Sunny day, yes, but still only 8 degrees!

Big flock of knot down in the mud flats at low tide.
(I've tried to find the collective noun of knot, but I keep getting "knot of frogs", so any suggestions are welcome!)

V of firecrest- not seen one for years.

Good game. I saw a lame chicken in my hen house

A tangle of knot?

Arf@ lame chicken and one legged blackbirds. No wonder cougars need a handicap!

I do like that knitted bicycle!

It's ourdoorsy isn't it?

I saw 3 flights of cranes today and heard 2 more but they were above the clouds.

Erm, awfully naice cloud formations this evening. Bit dull really
Nemo where on earth do you live to see some many cranes??

Nice clouds Cavey? Nice??? C'mon we need a proper named cloud formation please.

This weekend I saw an Italian pigeon. Dull you say? Well maybe but this Italian pigeon flew out of the oculus in the Pantheon. Nature meets ancient Rome. Awesome.

Nemo and her blessed cranes again. whatever

Erm mackerel formation

i saw baby lambs yesterday. i got all excited and nearly caused a major pile-up on the M4.

Altocumulus. Apparently.

Harbinger of bad weather to come

If we're doing nature flying out of culture, I once saw a big bastard of a bat flying right out at me from a cranny in a Mayan pyramid in Palenque in Mexico. It was just like a cheap shot in an Indiana Jones flick.

You google cavey. You can play with nice clouds but really almost everything on this thread will trump a cloud. Even grockle's lame chicken.

@ Bob. It's easy to become distracted by baby lambs. they shouldn't really have them close to motorways.

qatada that is indeed extremely fabulous, and also fantastic use of the word cranny (such a pleasing and yet underused word) however did you see this big bastard bat this month? If not then take it off the table please.

x-post. they are indeed some very lovely clouds cavey.
like I didn't just google them myself
