Haggis Season

Anyone want to go *haggis hunting*?

The season is from today (St Andrew's Day) until 25 January (Burn's Night).

You may have to wait a while to see one - and then, quite often, several turn up in different locations. They're not easy to spot on the thumbnail cameras, but if you think you've spotted one, you can click to get a bigger view. They're actually easier to spot at night.

I used to go Haggis hunting with my uncle when I was a little girl on my holidays in Scotland. He was a butcher and used to sell them in his shop.

The secret was to lure them out of the hills onto flat ground because, as they had one leg shorter than the other, they then ran round in circles and were much easier to catch.

Do you still believe in Santa Jane and the Easter Bunnie ???

Of course? Don't you? Where else do the chocolates come from at Easter and pressies at Christmas?

Yes Jane of course

I believe to, you get old when you stop believing lv Janetxx

My daughter has always hated Christmas, apart from the dinner and can't say it is my favourite time of year, I just hate surprises and can't hide disappointment when I don't get what I want

I logged on and spotted 2 Haggii straight away

We used to go haggis hunting at the weekend in our local hills when I was young
It was as I got older that I started to see them
The trick is that you need to have a drink of whisky in order to see one
Though I didn't have any whisky in me tonight
Must be because they are seen through the camera lens and the camera operator was having a wee dram

They have tartan feathers, have 3 legs long legs and one short one
On a steep hillside they can move fast
Only when they are on flat land can you really catch one because they get around by going round in a circular motion there:rendeer:
Rumour has it that they only go round because of the effects of the whisky but this theory has yet to be scientifically proven as you have to drink whisky in order to see them

knew alcohol had to be involved in finding these critters somehow

Of course it is Jan

But I noticed the ones I saw tonight were static
Whisper it but I think they were dead ones that had been caught previously
For the tourist kinda thing
And they didn't have tartan feathers either
These disappear the minute they are killed
So I think they must have been previously killed

SADIE THEY AREN'T REAL, THEY ARE DRINK INDUCED, oops sorry for shouting

and why haven't you come and said hello in the chit chat huh huh huh !!!!!

I am thinking it is maybe more than a wee dram
that makes ya see Haggis running round sounds
more like a bad acid trip to me

Now Jan, they say the camera never lies
And I saw 2 on those cameras last night
One was even in a distillery

Next you will be saying that the Loch Ness Monster isn't real either
Tut tut where would the world be then?

Pah!
Need to escape from realism sometimes
Couldn't find a haggis tonight
They must have a Tea Total on the cams tonight
