bull's eye
who is it that makes wigs for bulls and cows ? they're not very good. but then i suppose a bull is unlikely to have much money. perhaps they do it for free. if you're dealing with a bull it's sensible to stipulate they'll be no charge.

that's it darling, look back over your shoulder to the camera, and swing your tail up high.

i want to like the one above best, but i think the one below is more appealing. wadyafink ?
day 11 pembrokeshire county show part 3
of course there were animals at the show too
and i loved how they covered a bull's head with rosettes.
because you don't want to upset a bull by sticking things all over its face do you ? note the slobber
no one likes being called heavy.
ducks with a nice long necks. i think they could do with some arms stuck on the sides of their bodies
this was a bit unfortunate. it was a cage with something hidden under some sawdust. no one likes a loser
there were some more serious birds outside
this little barn owl brought his barn owl caravan
and he was keeping an eye on me
here is a sign i can agree with.

and some of the animals seemed slightly larger than life
the tragic story of the teeny weeny baby hedgehog
this looked like a heartening scene. the teeny weeny baby hedgehog had found its mum.
but sadly it wasn't. click on the title above to see the full, sad, story.

a teeny baby hedgehog
after the sparrow hawk visit of last weekend, we've now got a teeny baby hedgehog whizzing aimlessly around our garden eating the lawn
he's only about the size of a hamster. and seems to have his eyes closed.
he's very quick, but spent a lot of time going round in circles so i carefully moved him to a safer place in the undergrowth.
but an hour or so later he was back near where we started. and a cat was sniffing round the place. so hopefully he'll make it !

highland coos

you see things when you walk in london.
please do not feed the sheep
i don't think these are real sheep which is probably why you shouldn't feed them
the laughing cow
these animals are going to get a complex.

some cats
some cats from our zoo trip in January
fudge the dog with a big stick
(must admit to slight editing of this to remove a stray foot and colour boost)
minnie the horse
minnie the horse is moving to a new stable, so the girls won't be seeing her for a while.
they pursuaded me to join them and take some photos for remembery.
you can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead. apparently.
snail
looks better big (so click on it!)
children's play area, more animals arriving soon
lots of interest here. it seems more animals are arriving. except they aren't actually arriving right now, because if they were, that would be interesting and worth stopping to see.
so to make it clear, they've added the word "soon", but that still implies it's wait-able.
but then we see the children's play area and all becomes clear. we are being advised to get our kids to enjoy the play area before it gets too busy, as more unruly kids (ie animals) will be arriving soon.
at least that's how i interpreted it

boat tour looking for dophins, sharks and whales
on the one sunny day on our scottish holiday we went on a fantastic boat trip round gairloch harbour, looking for wildlife. we were hoping to see sharks, dolphins, porpoises etc, but they weren't about. instead we saw fantastic views out to Skye and the Outer Hebrides, as well as back in land to mountains.
we saw lots of fancy birds, and some seals (notice one in the classic banana pose)
and here is a baby seal
despite not seeing anything with fins, the trip was great. we went with the Gairloch Marine Life Centre
when we got back to shore there was a seal in the harbour doing fancy things for fish
actual real animals
our friend kate was complaining there wasn't enough real animals on funkypancake. so here are some from last year which you haven't yet seen
i think part of the problem is that i don't come across animals much in my daily life, other than stuff which whizzes past as i drive to/from work.
identify the dead nature-thing
i thought this was a squirrel, but jane thinks a rat. there was a red kite flying above our heads when we found this and i was hoping for some swooping action. but none happened whilst we were there.
can you help me identify the dead thing to settle this marital score ?
crabbing
bother-in-law kev knows all about catching crabs. first you attach a fish head (or bacon) to a hook
then you dangle it off a pier
then everyone gathers round and waits
until you pull the line up with a crab attached to the fish head
when you've got a bucket full (we had 20), display them proudly
preferably against a moody sky
and finish off with a nice crab race
seals
here's a nice seal (worth clicking the picture to see in a bit more detail)
there was a big pile of them on a rock
and it's always nice to see some oil refinery type thing behind wildlife
warning - tiger spray
i like the lack of urgency in 'move out of the way'.
monkey saturday
pictures i never got round to publishing from monkey world a while back.
viennese lasagne ponies
when jane and i were in vienna last year we saw the lasagne ponies. and they were very good.
playing hide and seek with a cow
i had a nice game of hide and seek with a cow earlier this week. she was quite easy to spot on this one (curiosity got the better of her)
but can you spot her in this one ?
(it wasn't actually the same cow)
