A Bonus Post!

I like to think that my blog appeals to a wide cross-section of society, but let's face it, it's probably mostly birders that read it, and that means men. If at this point you feel like writing in and asking if I've ever heard of political correctness, don't bother. I wasn't impressed then, and I won't be impressed now. The fact is I am right - most birders are men, you know it, and that's final.

Insects in fridges are likely to appeal to men, and make women go "eewwwww". The following however is likely to have the opposite effect. It will make women readers involuntarily go "awwwww". In fact, they are so cute that I defy any person, male or female, not to go "awwwwww" when looking at these Mandarin ducklings, especially the last one, where the expression is simply delightful.

"awwwwww!!"
