Photo Of The Day

so good, thanks for posting that!

You're very welcome. You might also enjoy this amusing postscript:

Thousands of birds weighed down the lines each time they landed en masse, he explained. The murmuration would set off in unison, causing the lines to clash together and trigger an outage.

What a great story. It's like david vs goliath but in numbers

Really dislike that 'move nature to accommodate us' view.

Why not invest in something that solves the problem, like wire spacers to prevent them from touching (like those things on brake / gear cables that keep them separate) or some such. I guess that requires thought and money.

Definitely. Nature won't give up, though. :)

Hi - this thread is generally for pics taken by people not on here; there are various photo threads, including one for camera phones, so you can show your stuff and see what others are doing.

It's the cat head under the wheel arch that I enjoy.

I guess it's just as well that they had their little bike race there last year.
