for those who keep the boat at Brighton

[SolentPhill]

went to Brighton for the weekend had good time but noticed that the starlings have been busy, they are eating berries at the moment and they do their usual fly round but have poo'ed red over many boats. Some are covered, I was on pontoon 9 and the boats around me were badly stained, if left I would imagine this would stain the white of a boat.

If you have a boat there you may want to know.

Its also about this time that the boats at lymington get a purple makeover , bloody stuff stains if you dont have some kind of polished finish .

Funnily enough yesterday I met and got to stroke the gorgeous bird of prey, called "Lass" which periodically patrols Haslar Marina. Her owner told me she took on a massive flock of starlings at Gosport a week or so ago and cleared the lot...I gather she sent half off East to Brighton and the other half were sent West to Lymington
