Maybe a short comment on the opposing evidence would do. If there is a need to discuss things in more intellectual depth, could this be channelled to another thread please?

Pat has noted an interesting observation, personally, which we could all try to witness - i.e. with the exception of pigeons, birds as they drink throw their heads back.

Fair point, but shouldn't we at least attempt to post factual comments, perhaps with references to back them up? After all, it wouldn't do for the site to have a bunch of "Did you knows" that someone could come along and rip apart.

Boddie - "An eagle can kill a young deer and fly away with it" Lesser Spotted Eagle? Spotted Eagle? Short-toed Eagle? Bonellis Eagle? Steppe Eagle? Tawny Eagle? Imperial Eagle? Golden Eagle? Bald Eagle? Spanish Imperial Eagle? ...etc. You get my drift?
