10,000 Birds

A Surprise Encounter

There’s nothing like an unexpected bird to get the pulse racing, as I was reminded on a recent warm and sunny summer’s evening. I was driving my small open-top car on a neighbour’s farm to see what I could find. The farm in question is large – 1,000 acres – and mainly arable, though a small herd of Redpolls (not birds, but a distinctive breed of cattle native to Suffolk) are a new addition.

Oxford Languages defines a bluenose as a “priggish or puritanical” person. Oddly enough, it can also refer to a person from Nova Scotia. I imagine that this is due to the cold winters up there, rather than suggesting that all Nova Scotians are prudes. But for birders, the name bluenose might more easily be applied to ducks of the genus Oxyura.
