Rights to Rare Gull Temporarily Withdrawn
Following a series of derogatory comments about
Ballycastle’s fine eating establishments and chip buying etiquette (by
the way most locals know better and buy their chips up the street)
posted on this blog, the Ballycastle Ornithological Group for Our
Feather Friends regrets that it has no option but to suspend all birders
rights to see the Ballycastle Laughing Gull.
Road closures and border patrols will be in force this
Friday between 1430 and 2100 and Saturday between 1000 and 1900 and all
birders will be prevented from passing the town of Armoy. In the
unlikely event that a laridophile will pass themselves off as a normal
tourist by hiding all those loaves of bread in the boot of their cars we
have decided to prevent everyone from accessing the town.
Whilst we recognise that such a ban means nothing to 99%
of birders who have either seen the gull or recognise that it is simply
another seagull, there are those who cannot stay away. Unfortunately
everyone will have to make do with Reed Warblers this Friday and
Saturday.
Be warned that this blog will continue to be monitored.
Further uncomplimentary comments regarding Ballycastle, it’s warm and
friendly chip serving locals and wonderfully well-mannered and cultured
tourists (DC - you know who I mean!) from Belfast will not be tolerated.
Spokesperson for BOG OFF
Seriously - due to the Armoy Road Races this weekend,
roads will be closed in the Armoy area on Friday and Saturday, with
diversions in place to Ballycastle.
