So this is how it went this afternoon....
Visitor: 'Excuse me....? Could I have seen a flamingo in one of the fields today?'
'I only had binoculars and it did not seem to move much......'
Me: 'Sadly not... as I do belive that it was a stray Hello Kitty helium balloon that had escaped its owner.....'
The resemblance to several species of flamingo (especially the South American varieties) is uncanny.... (Denis Tuck)
