Advice to clothes-peggers-cum-birdwatchers: Before looking UP
to twitch high-flying swallows etc, expectorate clothes pegs. Otherwise, if
you swallow, your abdominal regions will be twitching.
I daresay the more sober members of the chat group will take me back a
peg for this comment and hang me out to dry. Nonetheless, I believe
it's sound OH & S bird-watching advice. Move over, Bill
Oddy.
