tech_guy Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 We've got a squirrel so fat from eating all the stuff the kids throw in the bushes he can no longer climb trees so he lives under one of the temporary classrooms. We've called him Boris. We also get a load of freeloading woodpigeons and seagulls who fight over all the dropped sandwiches after break and lunch. Some of them are so big they would make a tasty meal themselves... Then we've got some rats who again are obese and are on a permanent sugar high because they eat all the sweets the kids drop. It's really sad in the holidays to see them scurrying around desperately looking for food like crazed drug addicts looking for their next fix.
elsiegee40 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 A family of foxes under one of the sheds... clearing their mess is not a pleasant job.
e_g_r Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 At my last school durning the summer holidays the playing fields got taken over by a flock of Geese. Poo everywhere. Overherd in the staff room one day:- PE Teacher "I don't understand how they get in when the gates are locked!!!!!!"
tmcd35 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 At my last place it was Crows and Squirrels (sp?). Here, just seems to be kids...
ChrisH Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 We have a Squirrel and a ginger tomcat. I like watching the squirrel after dinner. He hangs of the edge of the bin and pulls food out and puts it on the wall as he goes, once he is done he gaters it up and runs off. The cat skulks around eating alsorts and gives chase to the Squirrel when it appears .
Dos_Box Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I don't have a playground as such, but outside of my window I have: Foxes Deer Owls Woodpeckers Badgers Mice Rats Hedgehogs It's like an audition for Springwatch here!
Little-Miss Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Aww! I want Dos_Box's window... I like nature! Here, the windows next to my desk are too high for me to look out
JJonas Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Dos_Box should put up a web cam so we can all enjoy it
Theblacksheep Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Seagulls on the playground. Pigs, sheep, geese, chickens, cows, frogs, snakes, dogs and rabbits on the school farm.
stephenleak Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Only the usual seagulls. Our kids would probably kick anything else to death.
localzuk Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Seagulls the size of turkeys. A few moggies and that's about it really.
SpuffMonkey Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Foxes. We had a deer with its head stuck in the railings yesterday - but no one would let me kill it for venison. Also a tame pheasant lives under a PortaKabin and follows the site staff round in the mornings. All pretty strange as the school is close to the centre of town - not rural at all.
elsiegee40 Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Hmmm... can't see anything - but here's a photo from my window: So your school is next to the tele-tubby house!
sidewinder Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 A Siberian tiger Very friendly with the children though
witch Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Rats mostly... Well, I think they're rats: They are small scurrying things with big claws and sharp teeth... What's that? You think they might be teachers??
AngryTechnician Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 We have [ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glis_glis]glis glis[/ame].
pooley Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 From my heady heights (I'm more or less in the roof) I overlook the animals (year 1,2,3,4,5 &6 kids) and also the staffroom - scary in there!!
ButterflyMoon Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 We have a Hawk every afternoon about 3pm ish that hovers round looking for grub. Yesterday we had a pheasant land in the playing field.
CAM Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 A large quantity of squirrels living in the bins and a couple of cats, one big and fluffy and the other is a cute little cat who rubs his head against you like mad if you crouch down near him.
