How can it be September; it was only just July......
Dusty bunnies, dust bunnies,Floating around....Where ever they are, they get biggerI've found.
They join up together in oneJoyful clump, they don't seem to careThat it gives me the hump.
I'll get out the hooverAnd then they will seeJust who is the boss around here -Me!!!
Brilliant verse, Lindy!
I've already surrendered to my Dust Bunny Overlords. LOL I had no more strength to fight them. :-)
Edit: Science organizations are now reporting that the entire U.K. may be able to see the lights some time over the next 3 nights! And in the U.S., they may be visible north of line from Salt Lake City-Denver-Nashville-Richmond.
There are sabs from all over the country now in the cull zones. Here is a report from Sheffield sabs from last night:
"We sabbed a badger shoot last night, just as they were setting up to shoot over a field where they had previously dug around 30 small peanut bait holes, between Monksilver and Woodford. Our sabs approached the shooters in the field and stuck with them as they drove around a few fields, then a large amount of police arrived Eventually the shooters left the area and we kept a good eye out for them for the rest of the night."
More news from the Gloucestershire badger office about DAY 3:
"Anonymous tip-offs have begun coming in from locals in the zone who are annoyed with cull-operator behaviour, so we'd just like to remind everyone (even though there haven't been any issues - thank you!) that not everyone within the cull zone supports or allows culling on their land (and even those who do have varying reasons for doing so...) so let's make sure we don't cause trouble for locals on a personal level like the cullers are doing! We were able to find a couple of shooters based on tip-offs (thank you nameless people!) and others due to being in the right place at the right time, autonomous groups thinking of good strategies for covering their areas as best as they can and working well together.
Multiple shooters came out to support their shooter-mate in one area after he stood watching by a footpath with loaded gun in hand while another drove his vehicle at a sab from the Three Counties group. Police arrived and took details of anti-cull people while shooters shouted abuse at the sabs... can't say much more as the footage will be with our Police Liason person within the next few hours who can deal with it more effectively. Thanks to those who we called on for back-up and for the others who stayed guarding their own setts from other shooters. More reports coming in that shooters have been deterred or have run away from areas that we have a presence in, so well done again to everyone out there!"

What a gorgeous picture, Dibnlib!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Evening all: Busy day and out early with daughter in the morning; so will catch up tomorrow.
Take care!
It just gets worse for TESCO as they apply to shoot a pied wagtail in one of their stores and what is even more worrying is that Natural England give them a license to do it. What is the matter with these people?. Fortunately due to public outcry they are not going to do it now and BTO are on the case.
