Phalarope shock!
Posted: Wednesday, 17 May 2006 |
Someone's sent me this snap of a 'red-necked wading bird'.
Chrissie Mary thinks she might be one of those Bisom poets or dancers. Well she's obviously a fallen woman and probably no better than she ought to be. I hadn't imagined phalaropes to be like this.
We might have to re-think some of the recipes.
And I certainly think that the Uists want to be very careful indeed before they introduce these into the wild.

Don't worry Annie I think that this is actually a lesser black-footed gull, and not a red-necked phalarope.

That's Barbie Mary Campbell from Habost - I'd recognise those latex tights anywhere.

That's Barby Mary Campbell the well known mud wrestler from Tong.

Graham, whatever happened to my question to Hamish Oliver an eternity ago as to whether THIS phalarope needs to be rolled in oatmeal too?

Nah, that's Barbara Mary Jean Campbell, famous gold digger from Skara Brae

This Barbie Barby Mary Campbell frequents our health spa and pays a pretty penny to roll in our ooze. She is also partial to our Oatmeal with Fuschia Wrap.

Whoever she is, the poor lassie looks a bit washed up.

Dearmjc The Phalarope should be glazed with honey then the oatmeal is sprinked upon it. Alterantively I have a wonderful recipe for cooking it in Coca Cola.

Thanks for identifying Barbie Barby Barbara Mary Jean Campbell. Seemingly she's been chosen to promote the latest Hebridean slimming plan - the South Beach Diet - not a lot of marag ior Paris buns nvolved by the looks of her. You'd have thought she'd have posed outside the Town Hall as it's the most prominent landmark on Stornoway's South Beach.

Niseach meanderings. (Niseachs come from Ness - the villages in NW Lewis from South Dell to the Butt.)
