Wagtails
An extended family of wagtails has chosen Silkie as their preferred evening rendezvous in Balvicar Bay. While they are charming creatures in themselves they are also over-generous with their little calling cards.
I understand that a revolutionary new wagtail scarer is currently undergoing beta testing at a mooring on Scotland's delightful west coast. Does anyone know when this device will be available?
No connection etc., except as a potentially interested purchaser.

We need more detail here me old cocksparrow.
Are they Pied or Grey Wagtails - (Thank god there is no green wagtail) and would you post an image of the calling card.
We at Wagtailscarerandpissoffandshitonanotherbuggersboat work to ISO9000/2000 and this detail is mission critical and would form a key element of our method statement.

They're pied wagtails.
I don't have any pictures but if you'll send me your address I'll happily post a representative selection of this material to further your research. I'm pleased to note that your organisation is also pursuing a solution to this problem but I believe that a rival group may be closer to a workable deterrent.

Strictly entre-nous..
..industry sources tell me that Rock and Shattered Pottery Developments Inc. are working on a solution based on threatening visual cues.

Re: Wagtails
Thanks for that update. The trials are clearly going well and we hope that the wagtails have settled comfortably into their new abode.Silkie wrote:An extended family of wagtails has chosen Silkie as their preferred evening rendezvous in Balvicar Bay ................... a revolutionary new wagtail scarer is currently undergoing beta testing at a mooring on Scotland's delightful west coast.
All a bit hush-hush at the moment though. More later.
