Wenn der Hahn kräht auf dem Mist
ändert sich's Wetter,
oder es bleib wie es ist
(alte Bauernregel)
If the cock crows on the muck
changes the weather,
or it remains like it is
(old country saying)
the reason she was attracted to me was not because I'm a handsome cock, it was because I got her fav food in my hand.

About the Breed
The merry and frolicsome Cocker Spaniel, with his big, dreamy eyes and impish personality, is one of the world's best-loved breeds. They were developed as hunting dogs, but Cockers gained their wide popularity as all-around companions. Those big, dark eyes; that sweet expression; those long, lush ears that practically demand to be touched'no wonder the Cocker spent years as America's most popular breed. The Cocker is the AKC's smallest sporting spaniel, standing about 14 to 15 inches. The coat comes in enough colors and patterns to please any taste. The well-balanced body is sturdy and solid, and these quick, durable gundogs move with a smooth, easy gait. Cockers are eager playmates for kids and are easily trained as companions and athletes. They are big enough to be sporty, but compact enough to be portable. A Cocker in full coat rewards extra grooming time by being the prettiest dog on the block. These energetic sporting dogs love playtime and brisk walks.
Royal Air Force 43 Squadron 'Fighting Cocks' Panavia Tornado F.3 ZE831/GG on finals for RAF Leuchars during the 'Battle of Britain' Airshow in September 1994
After demonstrating a 'pairs' Airfield Defence scenario, Royal Air Force No.43 'Fighting Cocks' Squadron's Panavia Tornado F.3 ZE831/GG returns to RAF Leuchars during their 1994 'Battle of Britain' Air display
Now retired from service, all bar a handful of this Air Defence Variant of the 'MRCA' have been processed through BAE's facility at RAF Leeming where having been stripped of all usable parts saved for the ageing and still current Tornado GR.4 fleet, the remaining airframes were shredded!
In the meantime RAF Leuchars itself was closed and turned over to the Army.

The curious name of the junction derived its name from the 15th century Three Cocks Inn (a coaching inn, still extant, which in turn took its name from the armorial bearings of former local landowners, the Williams family of Old Gwernyfed.
The Junction was where the Midland Railway (Hereford, Hay and Brecon Branch) line from Hereford joined the ex Cambrian Railways (Mid Wales Railway line) from Penpontbren Junction to Talyllyn Junction. Three Cocks Junction was 48 miles and 18 chains from Moat Lane Junction and 100 miles 44 chains from 0 miles-Cambrian junction Whitchurch.
The station was situated within flat pastoral land and was approached on a wide leafy avenue, with the nearest settlement being Aberllynfi..
The station layout comprised of a large V with lines from the Hereford, Hay & Brecon Railway converging in from the east and the lines of the Mid Wales Railway converging in from the west, the southerly most line heading away south to Talyllyn Junction where trains diverged again for Brecon and the South Wales valleys.
The first 29 chains of the Hereford line was Cambrian owned. The Midland had running powers from here to Talyllyn Junction and Brecon. the station layout was simple enough, up and down platforms for both the Cambrian and Midland lines. Passenger facilities included a waiting room, ticket office and a refreshment room all the amenities being housed in a single building which was situated centre of the V-shaped platform. Three Cocks Signal Box was a Dutton Type 1 Brick platform signal box measuring 24'8" x 11' x 9' which opened on the 26th October 1890. internally it was fitted out with a Dutton & Co Frame with 40 levers. which was fitted facing the Cambrian mainline, for ease of observation the signalman had an all-round vision within the box.
An evocative shot of Oswestry allocated 2251 class 0-6-0 No 2287 (sub to Brecon) runs into Three Cocks Junction with an early morning Brecon to Hereford service on the 29th May 1961.
I&O 400 starts across the high bridge at Quincy as a cloud starts over the sun. Got boned on the shot of the train on the trestle, but this one's not too bad I guess.

Due to a comment on one of the cockfight photo's, I want to assure anyone looking at any wildlife on my flickr page, that any photo's depicting wildlife are in their natural world/habitat (unless you see the word zoo in my tags). Nothing orchestrated or contrived.
These cockfight photos are not taken in an illegal manner for profit or anything else imaginable. These are on my page to share with you what I witnessed of the natural world as I see it. I think these photo's let us see how beautiful and powerful a simple chicken can be. These are wild animals; not animals in a pen/caged area. This is something you don't see everyday and I wanted to share it with anyone who wishes to see. Thank you for viewing my photo's/flickr.com page
