Puffins do breed there!!!
Nearly as bad as an Irish Peatland Conservation Council poster having an image of a Hummingbird Hawkmoth on a 'Butterflies of Ireland' information board, a Hampshire County Council 'National Insect Week' poster displaying a Spider and the Forestry Commission 'information and learning' panels at Boldrewood in the New Forest telling us that ALL ladybirds eat aphids and ALL bees die after stinging, despite displaying an image of a male bumblebee which is unable to sting anyway. Not enough diligence in the world these days.
Nothing wrong there then, we all know Ireland is the premier location for transatlantic American vagrants . . . oCork City 2004. A new info board appears advertising about 35 bird species that could be seen on a walk round the estuary. 30 of the birds pictured were the American equivalent of their European counterparts. Thus the Common Kingfisher was a Belted Kingfisher, the Little Grebe was a Pied-billed Grebe, the Oystercatcher an American one, Teal was Green-winged etc. There were two pictures of (American) Peregrines, one labelled Merlin, one labelled Kestrel. I think they got one out of the 35 captioned correctly, but I can't remember which one it was now.
They're not puffins!. Penguins dressed up! you can just see the wire holding the flying one up. As for the terns, Oystercatchers in fancy dress with a nose job.:smoke:Really should be a photo caption competition too. Those Puffins look rather guilty and the terns accusatory ... why?
Seen at a hotel in Agra (India).

Feels like it's far too late to instill () any sense of diligence in humans. We've latched onto this idea that "Agile development" should apply to all facets of life, and that doesn't leave room for being detail-oriented, cautious, or thorough.:t: I'm installing some faith in the youngsters growing up but I suspect and fear a general demise in diligence.
