Re: Birds on Boats.
Brian,
It's not actually a pigeon it's a very large eagle. The 'clay pigeon' refers to it's phenomenal excretion which is the size of a pigeon and has the consistency of wet clay. They have the ability to launch their pigeons as a prey-stunning weapon, as though propelled by a sprung-loaded mechanical arm.
If you do see one in the rigging, walk very slowly away or jump over the side.

Re: Birds on Boats.
they're also extremely dangerous and have a tendency to explode mid flight when ever you see one there's often a bang and they just disintegrate ... wich the starlings would do the same!

Save some for me
Brian, I don't know what it is you've been drinking, but could you save some for me?

You\'re lucky
Whenever I've seen them there is the bang you describe but then they either fly serenly on, or they eject a small chip of excreta and amend their flight path slightly.
Is this perhaps another breed?
Yours, Deadeye Dick.
PS - Why do clay pigeons bruise your right shoulder?

Re: Birds on Boats.
I don't think you need to worry. Clay pigeons will be clearly visible if they land on your guano-laden deck. You should be worried if a whole load of clay pigeons turn up in your direction all at once, although i suppose under the circumstances you shouldn't be surprised, really.

Re: ooer
i hoping that all that is behind us, in this season of goodwill. Claymore above all others wouldn't be the type to harbour a grudge, would he? Certainly not! Far more likely to er... put it on a swinging mooring, give it a good spring clean in March and spend all summer enjoying it in various anchorages around the coast, perhaps inviting some others on board to discuss ways of improving the grudge and making it much more seaworthy, capable of lasting at least thirty years.
