Curly Sandpiper

[Brian Fleming <>]

Assuming that the Curly Sandpiper isn't an even more aberrant Wrybill,
it's not surprising that ther are some very odd birds in newspaper
reports. The spell-checker has a lot to answer for, and so does the
reporter half-hearing things he doesn't know much about.
  Some we have heard were the 'pair of green falcons', and the Glamorous
Reed-warbler. 
  Kids contribute some funny ones too, such as the Frogmithe (singular
is Frogmouse).
