Colin
You don't get them here. They're mostly Southern English. Maybe the odd one passing through but not generally.
So what do you call the ones we have here?
Colin.
Later
How do you spell Colin? One L or two?
I was only winding you up.
Silence....then
Suppose I'd put that in my blog and made a right fool of myself!
Buzz, Buzz, Buzzard
Wow! We were lucky to see that.
Wasn’t so lucky for whatever it was got caught.
Oh well. That’s nature. Poor you moving to the town. All the wildlife you’ll see there will be mangy cats, scabby pigeons and rats.
Don’t care.
When Katy was little she asked Bert this,
Why do they call them buzzards? Is it because they make a buzzing sound?
If we’d have been decent parents we’d have got the bird books out and arranged a visit to the Natural History Museum, stimulated the child’s interest and stuff like that. Instead we laughed our legs off at her, gave her a complex and slagged her about it to this very day. My idea of a fun natural history lesson was telling Hannah all about the savage child eating bears that lived in the (local) woods. May God forgive me for I doubt the weans ever will.
