Hi all,
We saw an amazing roost on HMS Warrior at Portsmouth whilst on holiday this half term. I posted this pic on the gallery.
Shortly after the pic there was a loud bang which moved all the birds off the ship. This repeated a few times as the birds alternated between the buildings and the ship, with the birds eventually roosting under the pier - which was also spectacular to see.
Does anyone know if this is deliberate, if so I have a few questions.
Why don’t the birds just roost under the pier?
Do the birds damage the rigging/ship with their guano?
Is it done to stop the birds roosting on the buildings?
Thanks all Julie
PS Everyone should visit the Mary Rose exhibition - it’s amazing.
