About the bird trap, corvids are things like jackdaws, crows, rook and magpies, these are often seen as pests as they eat smaller birds eggs and fledglings. The magpie in the cage is to lure other magpies in as they are sociable birds and like to be together. So, unfortunately you can guess what the outcome is going to be.....good luck with the rest of the walk, will be following online.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03278619080192910865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-84664319466114028992014-05-05T17:26:20.339+01:002014-05-05T17:26:20.339+01:00Sounds as tho the blood sugars got a bit low there...Sounds as tho the blood sugars got a bit low there Ilona, always try and carry a banana or even a few jelly babies in your pack(a diabetics life line) The pub looked lovely and the cheese roll looked very tasty. and trust you to find a place to stay that had a little pet for you to cuddle.

It amazes me that English villages are so numerous and most seem to be self-sufficient so to speak. When you get home do have your dizzy spell more thoroughly checked out. As we age so does our circulatory system and carotid arteries supplying our brains with oxygen can develop plaque deposits which might cause spells of dizziness. It happened to me about 15 years ago.<br /><br />Have a good walk home!<br /><br />Ann in CanadaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733597798222310304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-76209212961211706842014-05-05T14:47:34.208+01:002014-05-05T14:47:34.208+01:00Hi Ilona, Sounds like your blood sugar dropped p...Hi Ilona, Sounds like your blood sugar dropped precariously low, causing the faintness. That also happens to long-distance runners. You should carry a small bottle of Gatorade or another type of energy drink that contains electrolytes in your rucksack. Gatorade is the most popular one here in the states, not sure what kind you have there but get one. Also are you drinking enough water during your walk??<br /><br />I hope someone in England comments on the bird, which I think is a magpie, because I'm very curious to find out the story on that. <br /><br />Gail in NHGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003204378492456488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-49932886644186876612014-05-05T14:31:05.258+01:002014-05-05T14:31:05.258+01:00The magpie in the cage is a decoy used in Larsen t...The magpie in the cage is a decoy used in Larsen traps - other crows come along, detect a female bird plus a food supply, enter the trap and then can't get out and then the keeper comes along and kills them (presumably by wringing their necks). Any non-target birds captured can be released (or secretly killed in many cases) The corvids attack other birds nests, so they're seen as a pest where game shooting is concerned. As it happens, yesterday I saw a blackbird killing a chick from a nest and our local magpies had their nest raided by a squirrel, soo......
