Way way back to the very birth of this blog I showed you a wonderful picture of a rather odd bird .. I christened it as "The Spring Crosby." What a smashing bird .... but not a real one. I cobbled it together from bits cut out of the RSPB mag a long time ago. ..... and you can have great fun doing the same thing ... ... and create a whole panoply of odd -looking birds. .... and there's a crap sort of day turned into an excellent/silly/entertaining day. Ever since, I've been hoping that some nit might have thought it was real, and tried to find where it could be spotted, and/or what its call was. It might even get into a "real" bird book. Rather more drastically, I also cut up and pasted together various RSPB people in the mag, to hilarious effect. BUT ... since then, the "people pictures" in the mag got rather smaller, I presume to stop anyone else doing it. They are are still mostly smaller to this day ! So ... have a go at it with pics from your ancient bird mags. I recommend it. As I write this, it is chucking it down outside plus bloody cold.... so I'll make some too. OK ... there's more "doldrum-related silliness" to come. And now, the music .... the wonderful " Wir sind Helden" and " Bring mich nach Hause" ..why not sing along with it ... German is a smashing language to sing/speak.....
