What Do You Find Often In Your Grazing Fields ?

[bluebell]

I had a walk this morning over a grazing paddock with a couple of buckets of grass seed to hand broadcast in some poor bits and found a tennis ball, bits of food package and remains in field hedge of a birthday glitter balloon,, regular to find golf balls either in the field or baled up in the hay interested in what others find? Mushrooms are the other seasonal delight?

Do they do for buzzards too?

no, I have only seen Kites, but we only have two of the twenty turbines here, so I'm only round those two. I did use to email the council conservation officer, but don't bother any more.

I round bale my hay on the river meadows so sometimes find things that have come down the river in the floods when I come to feed the bales. I find single Crocs all the time, and hundreds of tennis balls- my old Jack Russel used to carry one back each morning before losing interest when she got home, so I still have a couple of carrier bags full. We did notice what we thought was a carrot on the river bank but luckily she turned her nose up at it as it turned out to be a large orange ermm, "aid" so I nudged it back in the river with my foot.
After the huge floods of 1906 IIRC, they found all sorts of things that had washed out of the flooded shops in Salisbury, including a full sized stuffed bear.

Mate has land beside a dual carriageway, his list is quite something vibrators & plastic bottles of p*ss are regulars as are those tiny gas cylinder things the laughing gas crew use................what a state our country is in

 

[Red Fred]

We used to pick up Corona bottles that we found by the river after the floods. I think you got 6d or 2 1/2p for every one, which helped boost the pocket money. I found my mountain bike in the field by the main road. No one claimed it so the police let me keep it.

Astra with a full tank of fuel, key on the front tyre
Found out who the owner was via cops
He had abandoned it after a party
He sent the paperwork as he couldn't be arsed to come & collect it & an Aussie summer ag student had it

I used to consistently find sharps disposal canisters supplied to the druggies in the town upriver which they were supposed to put their needles in and return to the local rehab centre according to the instructions printed on them.

But plainly they just bucked them in to the river running through the bottom of the town instead.

Haven't gotten any of them for a couple of years now, hopefully someone realised that expecting druggies to act responsibly is a pretty stupid idea!

Do they do for buzzards too?

Buzzards here still on top of ours???

With all the crap on the net these days ,long gone the days as kids finding a dirty mag dump???

Over the last few years, biggest thing was a mangled trampoline, half grown over in rashes, more mangled when topper went over it. It at least a half mile from nearest house. Didn't get around to gathering it up and tangled topper in it again.
Assorted plastic panels, look like from a garden tool store. Plastic sheet torn to shreds. Two or three Roe deer (Deceased).
Beside the county road no end of empty cans, food packaging and rubbish. Bagged dogshit. Someone leaves it in the middle of the road.

Never anything useful.

Never anything useful.

Amongst other useful stuff I've found a big bag of weed, a roll of banknotes and a nice bowler hat
The hat I still have but the weed & money are long gone

One of my labs is a genius at finding tennis balls. Most weeks we will gain one.

More on the silage ground we get lots of parachutes. These are daylight flares the military use training.

This is the view over my dairy in the summer. The top of the hill in the distance is about a mile from my buildings you can see.

The flares hang on little parachutes for ages, picked up 20 over a 20ac maize field in June. The Ukrainians love them.

All separately

A machete.

contents of a car boot - including 2 pairs of Hunter Wellies in my and my partners sizes

Adult nappies

Stuff from adults that should wear nappies

Golf balls in their hundreds - some poor golfers next door.

Cannabis factory paraphernalia

two deck chairs

a long bow arrow

a full size spider-man balloon

A sleeping homeless person

Don't often get boots or vagrants but everything else is fairly frequent even weapons seem to be on the increase.

We sometimes see these when we are out on the common at night (walking the dogs that is). They look a long way off but take forever to come down. I assumed they must be over the Plain. I have found a couple of radio-sonde weather balloons which have labels saying they come from Larkhill Artillery range and are non-returnable.

Golf balls, tennis balls, radio controlled glider, balloon race balloon from a school hundred miles away I posted to friend in Australia to return to English school. . . caused bit of fun apparently.

Lets hope the crocs remain single, we don't want them breeding, they have some nasty teeth.
