Seen it twice in same spot. About 2 feet tall, grey and white. Apologies for poor photo.

In West Kirby, it's probably been stolen by now ...
It is definitely is a bird scarer - its head can swivel side to side - see image attached below of a bird scarer with exactly the same markings.
Hope this helps Basil.
I think the 'humour' regarding West Kirby is misplaced as Kirkby and Kirby are two very different places.
West Kirby is a great place especially for birdwatching and wildlife reserves, but actually all over the Merseyside area there is a surprising number of places to enjoy birding and wildlife - it's far from the 'cars on bricks' analogy that people perpetuate.
I am also from the Merseyside area and (again) it is unfortunately a sad indictment of society that that area is always belittled and usually so by 'outsiders'.
This 'myth' affects investment and so the area can struggle to attract employers and therefore employment.
Yes, there are areas that are affected by crime, drugs and antisocial behaviour but these are the minority and I can assure you that all over this country - in all places regardless of wealth - that there is good and bad.
Please remember that not all bad people wear hoodies - some don suits and ties and have 'big' houses in green belts.
