April 1st birds

[brian fleming <>]

The late and respected James Fisher once used a respected BBC radio 
nature programme to report  a new British passerine. It had no 
distinguishing features and was named the Hoodwink (Dissimulatrix spuria).
In the next few days dozens of people reported sightings....
Up there with the Spaghetti Harvest I reckon.

Hoodwink isn't a bad name for those never-identified little brown birds 
you never really got a look at.
