Yes, it's another first for Titchwell !!.......................this time in the shape of giraffa camelopardalis !!!!
Unmistakable in winter 'plumage' and 'flying' with neck outstretched, a 5 foot high juvenile filled with Helium has just been seen drifting west across the beach fifty feet in the air!!!!!!! Obviously way off course it may be be picked up further west as it migrates along the coast. When we first heard the report we thought it was just a load of 'hot air' but several visitors came back to the centre 'and stuck their necks out' and described the leopard like spots to perfection. Goodness only knows what the observers thought they first saw the giraffe, hundreds of metres away to the east. The balloon was last seen over Holme-next-the sea! What are your most unusual or amusing Titchwell sightings?
Keep on birding!
I think Dave and Ray have been sniffing the peanut feeders again :)
I saw a sunfish off the beach a few years ago. I also saw Rory McGrath one time. :)
