Don't panic, I'm not slagging off this wonderful little Wheatear, it's just I also got a photo of it's crap! When it left it's little present for me I did half think of starting a collection of rare bird poo, but I thought again and realised it would just turn into another form of OCD!
It is amazingly tame, totally photogenic and not bothered by birders or normal people.Dog-walkers, cyclists and joggers go by without it flushing. It just works it's way along the sea wall, occasionally coming onto the path when nobody is around.
If the bird works its way away from you, 5 minutes later it is usually passing you again in the other direction. So if you get a chance go and see it (Tony!). Talking about things not to miss, as I was stuck at one of Rhyl's 100's of traffic lights I noticed The World Famous Apollo Bingo that I never knew existed. Sadly I'll have to give it a miss for now, but I will pop back next time I'm in the area when I pay a visit to Psycho Tatoos!
Nice one Steve. Doc Martin Collinson says if someone collects some Desert Wheatear crap tomoz he'll get it DNA tested for sup- species. Challenge is on!
ReplyDeleteLets get our sh#t together and be enlightened. Would be fascinating to know.
ReplyDeleteWas it there today (Sunday?), if so any joy with the pooper scooper?
ReplyDeleteHi Steve. I'll be there tomorrow with my petri dish. I believe Dr Paul Brewster has got a pellet - I wonder if that contains DNA?
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know that's as good. Doesn't matter which end it came out of! Need to ask doc martin though
