Interesting day on a combine harvester

[Aliwren]

Just had a really interesting day sat on my mates combine harvester getting the rape crop in.

The amount of wildlife was amazing - there were dozens of rabbits, 3 foxes, kestrels were circling and picking off mice which were exposed. A huge bird of prey (buzzard?) swooped and took a rabbit infront of us. We had to stop the combine 4 times to move hedgehogs from infront of the blades - all in all a very good day which I thought I would share

Lucky, lucky man!

Combines are just the coolest bit of kit

Harvesting, wildlife, big toys - what a great day

Sounds like fun....I saw one being prepared for action, this weekend....I should of asked if I could have had a burn round the field in it.....

The speed we were going I wouldn't describe as burning round the field! I am sure the rabbits were laughing as we trundled towards them - that is until they saw the birds of prey and had no cover!!
