English country garden horror on Friday afternoon. A young crow was chased out of neighbouring trees and attacked and injured on the lawn by a pair of magpies. It attempted to fly away, but hit a fence and grounded itself. I shooed the magpies off and waited for the crow to sort itself out while I worked for a bit. Then a lot of flying feathers and screeching — a young rat, sensing weakness or opportunity, attacked the crow where it lay, and barely escaped to hide under a hedge. Then the magpies came returned and finished it off.

This morning, a spider so large and aggressive I HEARD it scuttle out of the subwoofer port in my office. I've been putting off vacuuming up the various eggs sacs and webbed up corners, but after steeling myself over lunch I let loose a hooverpocalypse. I'm not certain the main bastard was removed from the subwoofer, so I've chosen to rattle it to pieces by playing Some Justice (Dash Mix) at +20 bass until I achieve satisfaction.

Can anyone recommend tracks that are likely to break up a large spider into its component parts, but ethically?

I was in the garden today, hanging clothes out, had some music on. Birds are chirping away.

Suddenly h ear a swooshing sound and then bird SCreaming and look into the cherry tree in corner of garden, where sound is coming from.

See what at first I think is a pigeon, I think "oh it's got stuck", then head turns and can see it's a kestrel or hawk, unmistakable hook beak which proceed to cut into little sparrow.

The look of the eyes. Straight at me. That sort of nervous but pleased look. Very human. Then trubdles out of the tree the other side and flies off.

I was all shook up, had to leave the clothes for a bit, felt all funny.

No one in this country has a dryer, it's very rare I would say. Somd English people get very excited at the prospect of hanging clothes out to dry. Used to live with someone and also work with someone and hanging their clothes out was their favourite thing ever.

Well I've got a drier and now I feel like some kind of race traitor.

Got buzzed by a buzzard flying just a couple of metres ahead of my car while driving back from the North Devon coast yesterday, which was pretty cool. Had a really clear view of it for several seconds.

Either a Hornet (Giant Asian? it was pretty big) or I'm told it might be a Hoverfly or Wood Wasp. Chased me out of the garden this morning anyway.

I saw a polecat a while riding on the South Downs a couple of days ago. I didn't know they lived down here. Like a ferret, but with a raccoon-like face.

I saw a deer for the second time today, on a fairly regular local walk. I see deer from time to time on other walks, bug never seen one so close to where a lot of people walk.

Last time, it was on the reservoir bank, very close to a big heron. Drifted into the undergrowth when it saw me.

This time, it was on the actual path by the reservoir and I stopped still to have a look. Was maybe 25 metres away.

I love how deer will stay still and stare at you fof ages, if you are still too.

As soon as I moved towards it, it drifted away.

It's quite something to return a rental car after unfortunately hitting a deer in the middle of the night.
As I drove it in to return it, because of how it looked, I couldn't help but start laughing about how it must have looked to them.
