Penguin eggs are a bit of a curveball, because they are bright pink! This is to stop Eskimos stealing the eggs to make omelettes, because as we all know, they are terrified of that colour.

What are Eskimos doing in the Antarctic or should I not ask?
Perhaps there is a zoo in Oban with Eskimos that I don't know about??

Have you not been to The Scottish National Centre for the Observation of Penguins and Eskimos? You've haven't lived!

I had a very deprived childhood roaming free just south of Rannoch moor... I don't think I actually managed to venture that far afield through.. Usually I turned right out of glenfinlas when I reached loch drive, not left!

Edit: sorry that should have read Loch Etive

Rannoch Moor?! You were lucky! Every third Sunday I was allowed to look at my cousins friends mums photocopy of a picture of a piece of heather, which had been printed in the Dunoon Tribune on April 3 1972, when I were a lad; to remind me of home

Those are actually puffin eggs. They retain a small amount of the yellow colouring in their beaks.

Honestly, this is basic stuff!

So glad we have an expert on these things!

You're all totally welcome. The wealth of knowledge I gained at Bird College deserves to be shared. @User14044 and @djb1971 dropped out after a term by the way.

I don't know about Rocky but I think you lot are on some strong stuff.

I think SNSSO has been handing out her meds

I've got some of the rarer emperor egrets.....

Proper photo that I took a couple of days ago on the proper camera when I get my SD card near the computer!

And there was me thinking they were a glossy ibis!

When is the closing date for the egret competition?

 

[summerdays]

She won't remember if you don't prompt her! Just keep posting photos till her patience runs out!

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

I was pretty certain I had said the end of the month at midnight didn't I?

But with the meds increase at the moment and some of my more interesting spelling mistakes anything is possible.

And where are these photos showing signs of spurring? Try that one again, spring!

Are you afraid you might win?
There was an excellent photo from a certain member of our cc community who hasn't dared venture in here or post it in here. @betty swollocks could reassure you. p352 for the rules I think...

My avatar is a picture of Spring.
Ok, it was 2 years ago, but we woke up next to this lake in New Zealand in their Spring

 

[hopless500]

I realise it won't win as there are no egrets or feet
We'll not mention that it isn't quite so current
