Fucking Clare animals…

I saw a cuckoo there this evening. Think it’s only my second ever time seeing one. Surprisingly similar to a hawk in flight.

I haven’t even heard one this year yet.

Heard one about 3 weeks ago. I’ve never seen one thoug

It was my first time hearing one this year. Heard it in the distance and it gradually got closer.

You must be light on your feet.

Must have escaped from a breeder or something? Doubt there is any of them naturally in the wild unless a gun club has released it as some sort of grand prize for when the season opens.

You wouldn’t last long in the wild with a big yellow head

A quick google says they are native to China but they’ve been introduced on estates here and can be found in the wild on occasion.
Cunt probably has corona virus

Poor bastards. They’ve the intelligence of a four year old child and they mourn their dead and you cant eat them and shooting them only makes them up their numbers. I’m very fond of crows

They are vermin.

They’re just doing what grey crows do
