I hope you all are aware of The Genius of HUNKIN .... If not, here's the sort of things he does .... ... more on Penguins .... Moving on ... Herons .... ..and here he is, telling us all about woodlice ... I hope all my readers are keen subscribers to the "Isopod & Myriapod Review. " I reckon that ALL Field Guides should be like that ... Imagine how he would show us all the subtleties of vagrant Wheatears ! Just think about all those Stints/Wagtails/Pipits/Waders etc that are just crying out to be Hunkinned ... bring it on, say I. Hey- up ... I feel a "poem" coming on I hope it won't be o v e r - l o n g POEM IN PRAISE OF HUNKIN And as for Jizz He'd be a Whizz with Feather Tracts he'd make the facts PiCtOriaL not dull at all. And Sub Species he'd draw with Ease Separating Those from These Despite them being far too similar Which many of the beggars are... as well as being far too small and hardly visible at all. And bringing in new ID points Like the angles of the joints between the various leggy bits he even sells Protractor Kits which you can fasten to your scope Using the Right Length of Rope, and then the Intertarsal Angles will settle all your ID tangles in a jiff, without those whiffs of dispute, fights or fusticiffs Which cast a blight on every outing And lead to harglyments and showting. So, Mr. Hunkin, please write and draw This New Approach we all yearn for We know that you're the man to do it And then we'll all rush out and buy it ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm all poem-ed out now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And what on Earth would he make of us ! The Actual Birdwatchers ? Here's the book The Very Big Book That they came from. But what about the music, on this last lovely day of warmth until, we are told, next Spring ? Are we really so naive to believe that ?
