A game keeper I knew told me about someone he knew being hit on the head by a fish [don't know what sort], in the middle of a field. Apparently the fish was dropped by a heron that was being mobbed by carrion crows.

You’re obviously a saint. My second thought (after the “must blog THIS!”) would have been “Couple of slices of lemon, some garlic, a little butter, wrap it in foil & 25 minutes in the oven. Mmmmmmm”

It would only be when I got home that I’d remember the bit about taking its guts out.

And it would only be when the police knocked on the door that I’d realise that it’s probably best not to boast about poaching!

Nick – I know, and the other half is just as disgusted as you are. The problem is I would have either had to club it to death or sit & watch it suffocate, and I couldn’t face either.
Ken&Dot – you know, I hadn’t thought of raining fish, but it’s entirely possible, given the weather we’ve had.

My mum once swiped and ate a partridge that her pet cat had caught (he was a big cat).

I was sort of hoping for fish rain when I saw the photo, but fish swimming down the road is a pleasantly surreal image too.

You DIDN’T EAT IT? Maybe you should consider going back to city life; it’s obvious that you’ll never make a good countrywoman!
