No luck catching them rheas then? :) No it seems not, DLL :) I think birds that expect to fly but find they can't are a lot easier to catch than ones that know they can't, so don't. @Mashka: That story warmed my heart to near-bursting, Sirius. Thank you :) What a horrible start in life she had though :( @Dr Who Fan: I don't suppose there's any news on the raccoon...? I'd almost given up thinking I'd find out what happened with the beluga whale that strayed up the Thames last year, but just did a quick search, and he's still hanging about apparently, or was mid-December anyway.

Someone has started a small "soup kitchen" to feed the few homeless people we do have. I'm not going to put pressure on anyone to donate, but it would be nice if you could. I can vouch that this is real. It's not a scam. Thank you. https://www.gofundme.com/a-little-taste-of-heaven039s-soup-kitchen ~Sue~ ID: 1976541 ·

Not quite what I expected. It may however explain a few car thefts that the police haven't been able to resolve.
