Lovely brown dog doing 'flyball'...
Amazing swoopy bird...
As the man called them, little dogs...
One of these guys had calls that consisted of "feeeeeeeesh" and "cheeeeeeeeeps" to ask the dog to go one way or the other.
Pipistrelle bat...
Overall I was disappointed with the countrywide live show. Apart from the animals it was mostly charitable organisations or volunteer groups touting for support. One of the national organisations had big proper signs that only said "FREE activities for children" in their corporate colours. And it was mostly that, naff things for children to rush around and do/grab and a few surly looking smug craftspeople selling things but with no keenness to chat to people. Why is there never things for interested grown ups? All I'd like is nice people who are enthusiastic to talk about the things they are interested in and maybe have ago with some things. It's hard to explain why it was so bad or what would make it better. I can contrast it in a way with our little tree event at my park. A volunteer speaker came from the woodland trust and he was really good. He had a genuine interest in trees and was a proper geek, really enthusiast about them. He chatted to me and the other rangers, the children, the adults and really had proper conversations. It was relaxed and I think that makes it nicer to be part of.
