Would I get away with saying it belongs to a bird?

The Great or or Lessor Yellow Leg bird commonly found in New Zealand these are not to be confused with the Yellow Legged Chicken commonly slaughtered around Christmastime then again it could be Big Bird out of Sesame Street

No to the above :)

Bigger than a tit but not quite as big as Big Bird :)

We should report you for blowing up birds legs, however I'm going with a seagull
Title: Re: What is it - Object 151?
Post by: TokWW on October 18, 2016, 01:57:37 PM
I agree Gabba - agree a shore bird such as a sea gull, but it maybe a smaller bird like a Dotterel - only found in NZ... and they have cream coloured legs too ... and are smaller than the usual seagull.
