Another blast from the past, and one of my rare attempts at digiscoping. This was in July 2004. about as expected as snow, a 1st summer Black-throated Diver Gavia arctica among the guillemots off Newtonhill.
My adventures in the (drum roll)... World of Birds! Clash! As nobody has been asking, I'll explain. George Bristow was a taxidermist at the hub of the Hastings Rarities scandal. From 1896 to 1939, hundreds of rare birds passed through his shop in St Leonards-on-Sea which he claimed were locally killed. They were later shown to be fraudulent. I'd like to think that at the back of his shop was a time machine linked to a freezer in another dimension, full of dead birds. You read it here first.
