Flock Of Words

It certainly cheered our dreary day and we thoroughly enjoyed some of the limericks and jokes along the way. One of my favourite Christmas cracker jokes on the path was: 'Knock knock, who's there?, cook, cook who? That's the first one I've heard this year' Which I will be dazzling people with at any given opportunity.

You can also learn something about collective nouns for various birds too; a group of Guillemots is a 'bazaar' and a group of Starlings is a 'murmuration'. Every day is a school day.

There are Chinese proverbs too providing inspirational quotes as you go about your day: 'A man must stand a long time on a hillside with his mouth open before a roast duck flies in' reminds you to take action rather than let life pass you by. Very deep, and something to ponder before you go and get a selfie with Eric Morecambe.

The pavement is made of granite, steel, brass and bronze and there are seats dotted along it where you can sit and enjoy the art. The bird theme obviously appealed to us as twitchers and there is a strong connection with birds to Morecambe Bay.

The bay is a haven for wildlife and over 240,000 birds visit every year. You can spot Curlew, Knot and Oystercatcher and you may even spot a Short-eared Owl if you're lucky. A must visit for fellow birdwatchers.
