    Septegenarian islander calls for Sea Eagle cull

    "I believe it is only a matter of time before one of these large powerful birds with their giant wingspan picks up an unattended baby or toddler and carries it off." surely the problem here is bad parenting

    West Midlands/Warwickshire local patches.

    :C I'd put his face around on wanted posters and in the the local papers because obviously somebody with more than one brain cell and some humanity knows his face. Great that everybody has cameras now or else it would just be a description.

    Great White Egret today (and yesterday) at sheepy magna fishing lake, saw it for about 5 minutes when i got there but flew off before i could walk around to get a better look. Seems to spend its time between the lake and the flooded fields behind it.
