This beautiful bird is a British Buzzard, native to Britain and a protected species.
So why are the tory government spending 375 grand to capture them and destroy their nests?
Because they sometimes kill pheasants, non indigenous birds bred by effete rich scum bastards so they can get loaded on brandy and kill them themselves with shotguns. Another example of tory shits spending YOUR money on bullshit projects only THEIR parasitical class give a fuck about.
Sign a petition to stop them killing birds so that they can kill birds here.
In an effort to maximize usable land area, many cities covered over rivers by entombing them in sewer pipes. In Sheffield, England the River Sheaf is contained in underground tunnels. The river emerges from time to time as it passes beneath the city before it merges with the River Don near Blonk Street Bridge.

This is Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane as it looked on a sunny day back in 1984. These three shots each showing a different stand illustrate just how much the World’s oldest major football ground has changed in the last thirty years or so. Each photo was taken from the vantage point of the new South Stand (not shown) which at the time was under ten years old. Opened in 1975 the South Stand was built over the old cricket pitch and in the years following it’s construction the other three sides of the ground saw major redevelopments as Bramall Lane was transformed into the modern stadium it is today.
The first photo is the old Shoreham Street Kop on which can been seen, over on the far left, the iconic ‘white wall’. Many Blades fans of a certain vintage remember with some fondness this particular area. It was an excellent vantage point from which you had a great view of the pitch and probably more importantly the whole of the Kop which when full and swaying as one was a fabulous sight indeed. How many did it hold? I’m not sure but reckon it’s capacity must have been around the 18,000 mark.
The second photo shows the Bramall Lane end which has for as long as I can remember been the away end. The bottom tier is always reserved for visiting supporters whilst the top tier is on occasion given over for use by the home fans. The Bramall Lane end as it was with the bottom tier terraced was an impressive sight when full - it must have held knocking on 10,000. In my time supporting the Blades I have only ever seen Leeds United and Derby County fill the entire end - seats and terracing.
The last photo is a shot of the old John Street Stand which was the first Archibald Leitch stand to built in England. Opened in 1901 it was rebuilt in the late 40s following extensive bomb damage in the Sheffield Blitz. It may have survived the nazis but it didn’t survive the suited spivs who purported to run the club because in 1994 it was demolished and for nearly two years due to a lack of available finance Bramall Lane reverted to a three-sided ground until the new John Street stand was built in 1996.
The view looking over the top of the John Street stand into Sheffield City Centre has of course changed over time. The distinctive ‘egg-box’ town hall extension has disappeared as have a number of other buildings in this shot. Replaced in the main by nondescript office blocks with no architectural value whatsoever. There is however one constant - no matter how much Bramall Lane changes one thing remains and that is St Marys Church - it’s spire visible in all images and photos of Bramall Lane since the day it opened in the mid 1800s. It was there in 1855, it’s there today and no doubt will still be there in years to come when Bramall Lane has changed yet again.Submitted by @Footysphere
