The perils of old age

I am sure a vulture would find you extremely tasty, John. Luckily for you there haven't been too many about in Lincolnshire (apart from that vagrant a of a few years back).

Any bird that attacked me would have to be pretty desperate for something to eat cos am all skin and bone, but vultures can eat bone as they have a strong stomach for digesting it. 

The poor lady, hope she recovers. 

Reading about this incident makes me think of the gulls pinching peoples fish and chips etc!

Many years ago I was in back garden bent down  when I felt a whoosh go past my head, I carefully turned round and a Sparrowhawk was perched just above me in the lilac. 

It's enough to put you off birding . . .
