Actually the noise was amazing too - a combination of their own birdsong and the "whoosh" of thousands of wings.<br />Worst bird species I have come across is the Fulmar. I spent a number of Summers sitting on clifftops (long story) catching passing Fulmars in nets. They literally vomit over you when you go to get them out.

In the last house I lived in they would gather in their scores on a large net bordering the garden (there were football pitches next to me) and chirrup and whistle - lovely sound if you're not trying to mind any fruit.<br /><br />One thing they did eat in the garden was the nectar of some new zealand plant (I forget the name) and, while doing so, stained their heads orange. Birdwatch Ireland got loads of calls and emails from people asking what this new species was!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
