| 2/1/16 yellow dyed Dunlin (Simon Williams) Banwell Est this morning |
Simon found this Dunlin in among the waders.
Apparently it's part of a Gwent-based wader study project and more birds have been seen Bridgwater Bay too.
We're sorry the answer is so mundane...the colourful replies and suggestions we received were much more entertaining, especially the piccalilli one.
Bang goes the camouflage.
