Ten Llama Points to anyone who can identify the 'brown bird' used to create that monstrosity.

(Hint - it's not British!)

Eagle Owl maybe?

The Leicester Llama said...

Close, but perhaps the hint should have been 'it's not even dubiously British'.

I see the real cowbird hasn't been seen this morning - Rob was booked on the Good Shepherd today...

Bugger a virtual dip for me :(

The Leicester Llama said...

Fuck it - just redefine your list to 'birds I've seen photos of on Surfbirds' and tick it anyway.

Andy...you can't tick it...itz got tags on......
Reminds me a bit of Pat Butcher with the ear-rings....now that is one ugly bird that looks like a cow....

How about Verreaux's Eagle Owl?

The Leicester Llama said...

Ten points to Graham - it was indeed a Verreaux's Eagle Owl, taken at Warwick Castle!

Graham Etherington said...

Brilliant!
I think I'll spend my winnings on one of these!

Maybe Andy will issue a very rare Llama's certificate for being clever or something. Anyone can get a certificate from the 4/500ths club.

Also Andy was the Cow's head from one of the "lovely's" down at Cossington meadows!?!

The Leicester Llama said...

I'm afraid that's classified information Dave. Or in other words, I can't remember where I took it! Don't think it was at Cossington though.

Richard Fray said...

It's difficult to remember the details when you have a cow photo library as extensive as Andy's...

The Leicester Llama said...

Indeed. And from all angles as well.
