This could all go terribly wrong John🤣I’m thinking
Bow as in courtesy
Bow and arrow
Bow tie
Bow on a violin
But bwa sounds good to me, followed by, that’s what they say where I come from if there are any queries

Yes, I think you are correct except for the first one, unless you mean that the persons back is bowed. So probably anything with a bow shape.

I suppose this is more properly “What’s Not Outside” 
I’m troubled but not surprised by this BBC item Curlew numbers affected by farming
I used to enjoy regularly hearing but rarely seeing Curlews just a few hundred metres away on Cors Caron / Tregaron Bog. I haven’t heard or seen any for years. Their haunting calls were magical. I also miss the song of the skylark rising and the acrobatics of the lapwings / peewits. I’ve been only slightly compensated by the return of the magnificent Red Kites.
Hang on! Are these raptors responsible for the disappearance of all the others? (Dim ond Joco / only joking)

I don’t have @ramblingjohn’s skill with photos, but the field was full of them - up to the trees at the back.

Birds of prey maybe, but I’m pretty sure not red kites as I think they are carrion feeders.

As I said “(Dim ond Joco / only joking)”, but according to RSPB Red Kites eat “Mainly carrion and worms, but opportunistic and will occasionally take small mammals.”. I have often seen them swoop down on small living targets in the fields around. They have largely displaced buzzards locally but when you do see them together, they seem to coexist very nicely. I have often seen them being harassed in flight by carrion crows, though.
