Here is the answer to David’s photograph challenge, posted last Tuesday.
Dead leaves
Weather permitting, David “will chalk mark on road where the ‘bird’ can be seen on Sat morning 100yards past Cuckoo Gate“.

If only David had waited a little longer, there would have been lots of birds in the trees:
So my dismissal of ‘dead leaves’ was right?!? I hope they are not of the variety ‘Chalara fraxinea’!
That leaves me wondering what this other ‘splotch’ towards the right of the picture is – certainly not a Toucan …..
No answers please, as I don’t know the answer.
For those like me who need to look up chalara fraxinea, it is the fungus causing ash dieback. See

Saskia, I thought your ‘splotch’ was the mystery bird that was being referred to. Perhaps there was a bird after all and David missed it because he was too busy focusing on tne ‘dead leaf’ bird!
Phew, it’s good to know that I wasn’t the only one who was ‘seeing things’ elsewhere in the photo! We’ll never know whether it was simply some more ‘dead leaves’ or the elusive and extremely rare Monsdale bird.
