Spot the owl.

I'm sure they're some cows near Milton Keynes you could go and photograph.

Lots of famous people at Madame Tussauds.

Have to admit, I was fooled. But then, with my track record, thats not suprising really!

So that buldge under OON's pinny was a plastic surgical support all along?

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Plastic? It would have to be carbon fibre to allow it to be so big.

[Bobby]

Lol. Didn't see that.

Only read the first post in my haste.

Magpie ... looks like eagle owls are breeding quite widely now in the UK according to recent reports.

They're amazing birds. I flew one at a falconry center but flew into someone else's garden and was eying rabbits on a local field. They'll probably be persecuted a lot though so I don't think they have much future year, which is sad.

Ahh true classic

if this was all post inocentlly :lol:

Brilliant !!

Just about on subject.Could someone settle the my arguement.Two owls I believe are required for the t'wit t'woo call which is the male/female or does it vary?

the "twit twoo" two owls defending there territory, they are basically telling each other to f**k off and stay away.

Ah right.Thanks for that.

Here's a website to give you an idea of the pier length... http://www.visitcumbria.com/pen/pooleybridge.htm.

As Oon keeps saying, length isn't important, its width that counts.

So eloquently put, you must be an ornithologist.

Not entirely correct acchos

A Tawny Owl never calls "twit twoo". In fact the "twit" or more accurately "ke-wick" is a Tawny Owl's contact call and the "twoo" or again more accurately "hoo-hoo-oooo" is the male's territorial call. Consequently, if you hear "ke-wick hoo-hoo-oooo" it is most likely a male answering a female (or another male).

[disco-barry]

So what type of plastic owl is it then?

[West is Best]

The greater spotted owl

Which doesn't exist in Britain ...

[disco-barry]

Arf!

[Osbourne One-Nil]

I knew it was plastic - Wibs didn't have a clue though.

[Coast]

Now I've zoomed in on it, it's amazing how short that pole really is

It would look a lot taller to Wibs though.

Perhaps that's it!! Wibs isn't small, she's just very far away!

Oh bah bah bah bah bah to the lot of you. I may be small, but I'm perfectly formed. Well, apart from my temper. And my hands. And my bad luck. And my accidents. And now my shattered confidence.

And not being a moderator anymore - you must really have upset Oon this time!

[Osbourne One-Nil]

I'm not hairy.

Oh - yes I am.

[Coast]

He almost banned me.

He's evil, and grumpy, and nasty, and grumpy, and hairy, and grumpy, and irritable, and grumpy.

Blimey, that's taken you a long time to find out. Still he has got his good points.

No you were right the first time........
