Feral
Tonight as feral as into the wild blue yonder ... past the rabbit-proof fence, scrabbling and scratching our way through a 'special area' in the Blue Mountains and scurrying around with some German boars in urban Berlin to see what happens when wildness and civilisation come head to head. Later we take wing with pigeons from all over - at least they can find their way back to a place they call home - unlike the anarchistic feral-punks who tried to squat Stonehenge in 1980s Britain.
