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.
About Me
- Martin
- My name is Martin. I have one wife, Diane, who drinks wine. Between us, we have two children who eat money and are old enough to read now... so I have to say what joyful and fulfilling darlings they are! Don't be fooled, I'm much less boorish and opinionated than you'd think.

Good to see the Wigeon are still there at Garton. And still as tame.
If Lizzie got as far as lobbing the stone in, you will have noticed that the whole family rush over to investigate the splash (they did when we lobbed stones in at least...). The reason for this seems to be that a lady comes down in the afternoon to feed them a loaf of bread, which they eagerly accept. Something worth considering next time an American Wigeon is deemed an escape just because it's nicking peoples sandwiches…
... or a Hooded Merganser for that reason
