When? Last Saturday
Where? Martin Mere Wetlands Centre, Lancashire.
Says our spotter:
Peter is a keen twitcher who likes nothing more of a weekend than to get out into the countryside to spot some wild fowl. Unfortunately Peter's lanky frame is disconcerting to the wildlife, which makes him unpopular with the other ornithologists. This is not helped by the fact that his girlfriend or 'WAG', Abbey Clancy, will not allow him to spend any of his pocket money on a bird book and so Peter is forever folding and unfolding the free Guardian 'Birds of Britain' wallchart that he keeps stuffed inside his Liverpool and/or Portsmouth shirt.
He has now been banned from the most popular bird watching stations (or 'hides'), as the only way he could use them was to leave his legs sticking out of the door and to stick an arm out of each window. His head would be curled up against his chest inside the hide. This made bird watching difficult for him and was very off-putting for the other twitchers.
