Plagiarised/borrowed this quotation from the American author and columnist Dave Barry. Somehow this popped up twice in recent weeks via different aspects of social media. I suspect he may not comprehend the use of capital aitch!!
Whilst visiting TH with M for morning coffee the WhatsApp notification for this bird sounded. Luckily, bins in car, day ticket available and M happy to snooze in car by the West entrance while I hobbled down to the hide. Curiously the local 'togs feigned ignorance of this bird but visitors pointed it out immediately - I didn't have time to faff about. The bird had in fact earlier been right in front of the hide giving frame filling photos but apparently everyone had been told to suppress the bird by a volunteer and no more WhatsApp messages appeared neither did it ever appear on Goingbirding!! How bizarre. Wonder what else gets suppressed.(Photo courtesy of AR)
So disappointed not to see Kirk, Spock, Bones and an unnamed blonde in a short red skirt materialise!!
This marks the 20,000th piece of jigsaw since lockdown - I think we'll have a rest now.
