    Picked up at Sarclet. She had been gorging on roadkill rabbits, so was quite happy not to be home!

    The difficulty when they have had plenty to eat, is that they don't care ift hey come back or not. The term "fed-up" comes straight from falconry like a lot of phrases that have come into common usage

    An interesting bit of trivia, Spurtle. I'm feeling fed up just now, but not from eating road kill or feeling depressed, I just stuffed a huge plate of Mrs M's cauliflower cheese.

    Sorry, but we only have people who come on holiday with hawks. Perhaps someone local will see your post. I believe there are one or two people who do it locally, It is a BIG commitment, though
