 :roflanim: , although a nosy neighbour here called the SSPCA as a cat was in the window of a house that's just been vacated...I had no idea there was no one living there but noticed the officer tap on the window and the door then stick a notice to the door and tape on parts of the door, then she popped next door and was seen coming out of the supposedly empty house, the lady who lived there was still there it was  her teenage children that had moved out so  at  least it was one looked after cat...they have all gone now though!!

I'm sure their faces were red but at least they cared enough to do something. Better a false alarm than ignoring a real owl in distress.  Should have gone to Specsavers first though.

One of my neighbours came tearing along one day (she's quite elderly) to tell me she tought one of the lambs was dead. It turned out that it was just deepy asleep in the sun. She was quite embarassed but I said I'd rather she raised a false alarm than ignored a possible problem and gave her some eggs.

She likes when the lambs are in the field at her house  :)

Watchful / nosy neighbours have their advantages.

we had a group of mares in the field next to my mothers house - the district nurse (who specialised in midwifey)  was visiting on a daily basis, and she (the nurse) came round to my house in a panic as apparently the pony was in labour, puffing and panting and about to give birth. actually the pony was flat out in a very deep sleep, snoring away and wasnt even pregnant - and this was a midwife - how embarrassing!
