Ever had that feeling .....

Provided the picture wasn't taken anywhere in the New World it is almost certainly a chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax), which can be found along the western flanks of the UK and in Ireland. Personally, I have only ever seen them in the west of Scotland, but then, I've not been everywhere!

Being the national bird of Kernow (cornwall) it is really great that although choughs were once extinct from the cornish cliffs they have been succesfully breeding on The Lizard peninsula for a few years now. a very welcome sight.

....A bit further up the page, Alice said good pic Nick so I thought Ooh goodie a picnic....

Well I got it, Clare - made me groan

Y....I'm feeling a bit dim myself - something to do with Wellie's wonderfull risotto and loads of good French white....See Clare rub fat tummy full of risotto.

Hrumph.

I can just image it (bet it's a Dennis Cotter recipe, Wellie-ised) and am very, very jealous. Hope you all get fat.

I still think it's a great pic Nick. And some good replies. Any other ideas on what it might be.
