I packed too much into one sentence. > Single sentence -> single idea. It was more about pheasant vs peasant. I became aware of the difference after watching Blackadder, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackadder a few times too many. Sir Edmund might be a bit over the top - or below the bottom - if one is unfamiliar with British humor. Americans might want to have a look at series 3 and 4, where Hugh Laurie of "House, M.D." fame has leading supporting roles. Rune

Some years ago, in late May, I was watching a beach a few 100 meters away through my 20-60x magnification telescope. I was watching one section of the beach when all of a sudden all hell broke loose on another section. Everything with feathers or plumage took to the sky - double quick and then some. When I trained my telescope to the centre of attention, I could see the reason: A sea eagle had struck one of the weeks-old ducklings in the area, and was just swooping back to pick up his prey. The eagle, duckling in talons, sat down on a rock and started to pick feathers off the duckling. From 200 meters away I could see - although not hear - the duckling scream all trough the process. By this time the eagle was becoming increasingly harassed by every crow, seagull and magpie near the beach, so he left to have his fastfood meal elsewhere. Pretty? Maybe not. Fascinating - certainly!
