Puzzles, Games, Crosswords .. they're all the rage in these lock-down days ... ... so, I just happen to have a some more of those vans... you know .... you're strolling through Hemel Hempstead High Street and you spot this ... ...and you spot a van with MRS emblazened on the side, and straight away you realize it's the "ghost" of Mediterranean Shearwater !! What ? What's going on ? Well , regular readers will know .... Mediterranean Shearwater M r S They're called "ghosts" because they're what's left when all the other letters have died and gone to the "otherworld" leaving a few "ghost" letters behind. If there was a bird called the Jammy Horsebird then MRS would indeed be its ghost. As would YED or MHOD or HID. Or even JAY ! Some of you might think "so what ?" But the thing is, you can " spot birds" when there aren't any .. like on the M1. ..just by finding vans and lorries with those logos on them ... sorted. So ...off we go then with a selection of vans ..some will be dead easy, some tricky, some maybe only do-able by visiting foreign climes, some, perhaps, impossible .... #1 = DCL ... Duck-billed Platypus is close, but unfortunately NOT a bird... Is Dickcissel on the Uk list ? Who cares ... it'll count. The world's your oyster .... Next one ... ACS ..... if it was dogs, you could have Dachsund ! But it isn't..... .. and now, HLS ... you could have Shelducks, except that plurals are invalid. ... I suppose you could have it if there was nowt else. This one has an obvious starter ... but you should always try to find more ... There's an obvious one for DAL too ... but I'm sure you can find others .. ...and now, 'tis ISS .... what a shame there's no such bird as the Misidentified Bustard ... so you'll just have find a real actual bird .... You're probably knackered by now, so this ( GT) is an easy one ... ... so, obviously, I'm expecting you to get quite a few species .... ... but this last one, for now, is a 4-letter affair ... ASDA ..... can you find any solutions ? After all that brainy-stuff ..... music ! What a surprise.... La Grande Sophie ...........
