    @Machpants The Daley Thompson was the one that amused me too. Then I realised that look is the way @Bones describes himself on here. Sorry Honey, it may not be accurate but the brows and fro...

    @Snowy it's actually pretty spot on, although the hair is a bit tame...

    Reminds me a bit of this that popped up in my feed that I posted a couple of years back on FB...*hate it when you wake up and see yourself on tb" (from my haircut days obviously)

    I like how you didn't mention serial killer Michael Owen is actually you.

    He really does look like a serial killer but we don't all look alike. Too easy to find us.

    @MiketheSnow Not funny. Mrs Cato insists on feeding the birds out in our back yard so we get a few sparrows and the like spilling seed all over the place and then the fucking pigeons come strutting around eating up the spillage and shitting on all the cars.

    Net position here is that I am paying for birds to shit on my cars and then paying the local Polish guys to wash it off.

    So. Not funny.

    Yeah, but it's a really cool watch when one of these blokes (Sparrow Hawk) decides on a Sparrow sandwich.

    @Victor-Meldrew we had a bird of prey land in the backyard and sit on the fence, curiously trying to figure out how to get into the yew tree, immediately after a couple of sparrows had flown in there. It was pretty cool....but I'm now not convinced it was a sparrow hawk - they look too dark. Pretty sure it was a kestrel - eventually dove straight into the middle of the tree and took after after the sparrows.

    @Bones We get Kestrels but not many, think they eat mice & such more than small birds. Plenty of Buzzards soaring on the thermals though - fun to watch the Crows and even Swallows chasing them away

    @Victor-Meldrew yeah, guess it just looked too "golden" in colour for what I've seen in pics of sparrowhawk - but just found this of a juvenile. It definitely had the sparrowhawk tail IIRC.

    Probably killing off the birds anyway.

    Huge decline in songbirds linked to neonicotinoids

    Huge decline in songbirds linked to neonicotinoids

    Neonics—pesticides introduced to plants at the seed stage—act like an appetite suppressant for birds, making them lose weight within hours.

    Lots of our birdseed has neonics. Lots of counter arguments though, mostly from companies that produce them.
