It was of gargantuan proportions and the associated folk song told of the difficulties of butchering it. In 1855, the First Regiment of the Derbyshire Militia adopted a ram as their mascot.

Actually, I WAS dimly aware that the football team have that nickname - but which came first - naming the city or naming the football team? Why would a football team just get called "rams"?<br />@ Roger (AT) - good thinking to ask Wikipedia, didn't think of that. Maybe it'll answer my remaining questions - or maybe even Derby City Council's website - or, come to think of it, our intrepid Nick Moyes, custodian of Derby City Museum.

A quiet day...Watchpoint Report for Saturday 16 May<br /><br />A quiet day in all respects. We had around 60 visitors during the session.<br /><br />The female peregrine spent quite a while perched on the waterspout by the pudding cam or on the pinnacle above giving good views between rain showers. The male was absent for most of the session being seen briefly at around 11.00 escorting 2 buzzards off to the Northeast. He returned briefly during a rain shower at around 12.30 before heading off to the North. From about 11.30 the female spent most of her time brooding the chicks to protect them from the inclement weather but at around 13.00 she too flew off purposefully over the Assembly Rooms before returning from the North with a pigeon, followed closely by the male – the assumption being that he had caught the bird and passed it to his mate out of our sight. <br /><br />We left with the female feeding the chicks who could be seen quite clearly.<br /><br />Hopefully, by next weekend, the chicks will be big enough to be regularly seen well from the watchpoint rather than the brief glimpses we have been getting.<br /><br />Thankyou to all those who turned up to see these birds in such indifferent weather and a big thankyou to Celia and Helen for their help running the Watchpoint.Andy and Chris Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-73785734687433174852009-05-17T10:12:00.000+01:002009-05-17T10:12:00.000+01:00@Sue in Bucks:

It is found in a number of places, most notably in the nickname of Derby County FC of "The Rams." A stylised depiction forms the logo of the City Council's services. but the logos seems more complex I agree.Roger (AT)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-28060798036329637072009-05-17T10:00:00.000+01:002009-05-17T10:00:00.000+01:00Chicks all hunkered down while parents off foragin...Chicks all hunkered down while parents off foraging. They'll be doing their best to keep warm I expect if the weather in Derby is like here in Bucks (cold and wet). There's an adult at pudding cam but doesn't seem to have anything for them, despite their occasional hopeful looks up from the huddle.<br />I was idly wondering, prompted from the logo at the top of various pages, what IS about Derby and RAMS?
