Shorts ! No binoculars ! !Trainers !!! Smiling !!! A blasted "Nature Lover" !!!!!!!!!! As soon as I had written that thing about the massive infestation in the UK of hordes of blinking blasted " Nature Lovers" I e-mailed the BBRC about setting up a new committee to monitor them, just as they monitor rarities. They immediately created The Nature Lovers Records Committee. They "agreed to the need" for "that sort of thing" straight away ,and not surprisingly, sightings soon came flooding in by the sackload. If you see a Nature Lover in your patch, the NLRC would love to hear from you. Your submission should look much like a rarity submission, with all the usual data including date, time, duration of sighting, any relevant behaviour patterns, such a pick-nicking, not having proper binoculars, or not having any binoculars, carrying a "baby" on "back", pointing at birds, picking up snails from a path and putting it them in a safe place, spending hours in Red Squirrel hides, wearing shorts of any kind at all, especially gaudily patterned ones, or sandals, or "trainers", having a female/male companion, buying bird tea-towels, talking about non-nature-related matters, smiling, and/or any other "softy" stuff. Plus of course your relevant past experiences with "people like that." They don't want any photographs though. Who wants to look at "Nature Lovers ?" The NLRC is dedicated to wiping out all "that sort of thing" within a realistic " time-frame" as yet to be determined. At last "something" is being "done. " And as for " Coach Trippers" ... don't let's start ! ..and here, "The singalong version " ... go on, have ago .... Hey ...I forgot to include those Nature Lovers with big long walking poles.
And maps round their necks in plastic folders.
