Bigthumb Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Alarming news for owners of small dogs etc. I shall be carrying a heavy stick and an air raid siren in future! http://www.rotherhamadvertiser.co.uk/news/90970/south-yorkshire-pet-owners-fight-off-eagle-attack-with-walking-stick.aspx 1 metre wing span sounds very small for a Golden Eagle. There are plenty of buzzards around and they are bigger than that. This sounds like news making flim flam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longcol Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 1 metre wing span sounds very small for a Golden Eagle. It's the very rare Rotherham Dwarf Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane39 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Aren't old ladies a bit tough for the wee chicks to chew on? Mother eagles razor sharp talons make light work of filleting an old biddy. The chicks tuck into the soft bits,usually the intestines,and baps first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
