some kind of mushroom? growing in my yard tooView attachment 3951584

Very pretty,,,,, But check to see if potentially harmful to your flock.
I don't have the ID app to tell me what it is. There is a Google option on computer, But I'm not familiar how to use.

it’s no where near the flocks, not even my dog is allowed out front, it’s too close to the road. i tried the Google reverse image search and it’s possibly some kind of edible honey mushroom but I really don’t want to take risk. however it’s cool looking

I made a fence from logs. In the future, this place is planned for keeping one piglet.
I had some logs, I shaved the bark off them, concreted two old iron channels into the ground, welded a gate, then drilled these channels and logs and screwed them with steel studs onto nuts. Although the main mass of the fence is not held on the channels, but on the lower log, which lies on a concrete base near the channels. I don't know how long this fence will last, but it cost me absolutely nothing.

The channels are buried more than a meter into the ground, so the fence should not fall.

Really admire how creative you are with what you have to work with, especially if there is no cost.

So very nicely done.

Today I came across this video. It's a masterpiece ))
As I understand it, this is a black grouse, or wood grouse, a bird the size of a turkey. During the mating season, when it looks for a mate, it loses its timidity and sometimes even tries to attack people if it thinks that its territory is being contested. During such times, hunting this bird is most likely illegal, but there is shooting in the video. And it is a masterpiece. Apparently, the hunter is holding a saiga, a simplified analogue of a Kalashnikov assault rifle, converted into a hunting rifle.

The caliber of the saiga is different, but it is often still a rifled weapon, not a smoothbore weapon. At least, judging by everything, the hunter shoots bullets through a rifled barrel, not shot through a smoothbore one. Shooting single shots from a rifle from such a distance is (in theory) quite accurate, especially considering that the bird is the size of a turkey.
In general, the bird walked around, walked around, and, judging by everything, just turned around and left. And the unlucky hunter was left with nothing.
