Having done all that " blimey, what a lot of birds got shot in the past" thing a few posts ago,(575-576-577), I thought I would try to find out which species got the biggest pasting in that huge and ancient " Birds of Lancashire" book...... and after extensive research ( piddling around the various likely candidates) I reckon this one takes the biscuit (in terms of % shot/obtained/taken etc)....... Spotted Crake ....... read on .... There's one thing I haven't been able to work out. What the heck are " snipe pantles" ? We need to know. We DO know that snipe get caught in them. The only other thing I found was this, which is probably not relevant ... Pantles When someone's pants are really too short to be pants but too long to be kapris. especially frequent on middle aged men. "OMFG, look at the pantles he's wearing!" #pants#capris#kapris#pantals#short#clothing This, of course, leads to the vexed question " what are kapris ?" Moving on ..... In view of all that, I think that the Spotted Crake should be renamed ... "The Shottest Crake" But now, the music ..... " Another one bites the dust" ... BUT ..... not your average accompanying video .....
