Caption Competition

No prizes, just a few laughs. See if you can come up with a caption for the following pic that has North East birder Alan Tilmouth (left) talking to the controversial Lee Evans.

Lee visited the North East last Tuesday burning £170 on petrol to see the Desert Wheatear - gone, the Ross's Goose - gone, and the Squacco Heron which he found deceased. Not wanting to go home empty handed he returned to Essex with the heron in his boot, allegedly.

 "Will you swap the Squacco for a Lady Amherst?"

RIP Squacco

Just heard that the Squacco Heron at Morpeth has died. No news as to the circumstances yet.

At least the Ghost of Stringer will be able to add it to his 'afterlife list'.

Squacco Heron, Great White & Little Egret in 30 mins

Having dipped on the Squacco earlier this week I decided to try again today. Not only was the Squacco showing well in Morpeth but a Great White Egret was reported in Alnwick. So off we went and right under the bridge by the castle there it was. And flying over - a Little Egret!
