In the absence of any good cow attack stories this week...

From Field & Stream: "Dusky Grouse Attack Leaves Wildlife Photographer Don Jones With Bloody Lip".

There's a lot of clicking involved as the article consists of twenty-two photographs with a short narrative for each. My favourite is photograph 13, but photograph 20 isn't bad either.

It's nice to see a maniraptoran entry in your series of animal attacks.

I bet he won't be boasting about those scars at the Annual Wildlife Photographers Jamboree...

I know ducks are dangerous but grouse?

Mark Wadsworth said...

K, they're extinct AFAIAA.

JM, oh yes he will, this is probably the most exciting thing that has ever happened to him.

JH, it's the swans you want to worry about :-)

It looked very extant indeed to me.

Mark Wadsworth said...

K, shit, does that mean that flesh eating birds will descend on us from above?

knirirr said...

Yes. The dinosaurs are still here, waiting to reclaim their rightful place from the upstart mammals...

Mark Wadsworth said...

K, the monsters in last week's Doctor Who were rubbish, if that's what you mean.

knirirr said...

I didn't mean them; they were particularly dull and silly.

K, the build up was great with the invisible dome and everything, but one they trapped in the cellar looked to me very much like 'a young woman with green face paint'. I've seen scarier things on the Underground.

Yes, I agree. They didn't look too bad to start with, with the mask on, but ended up being most disappointing.
