    Chris ..   As I was born and brought up on a island I didn't think it was odd having skin between your toes as we were constantly in water , we were not bothered when the kids at school took the mickey , to us it was like water running off a ducks back , mind you I did think it odd when my first girl friend had a long fish tail instead of a pair of legs , even the three extra fingers were not a lot of good as they were constantly covered in scales, still come to think of it I have water problems most of my life and that continue up to the present day , hopefully a drought is in sight .:good:

    Always look on the bright side of life .:lol:

    See a cock and hen pheasant  near the war memorial in Orpington a few years ago .

    But Catford cant be used to wild game most of them thought it was a chicken

    Well Orpington is very close to open countryside and woods etc, but Catford ?!

    Perhaps it blew in on those big winds ??

    ps. Can't see it lasting long in that area tbh,,,, soon be roadkill or eaten by somebody or something ???
