# Pointless ?
Without Venn how would we know that while some Geese have black heads, not all black headed birds are Geese ?

But it really did look like a bird, honest...

# Easily done.
I mistook a bin bag for a cormorant yesterday.

# Heh heh.
I might even put together a gallery of these on my site, including the platic Red-billed Chough I thought I'd seen in Neuchatel...

# There's a certain species of carrier bag that greatly resembles a kingfisher, too.
I saw a real, non-plastic kingfisher yesterday. Lovely, it was. But for the rest of my walk I got all excited at every sighting of a blue bag.

# Ha!
I know exactly what you mean! Happened a lot when I was in Glasgow. I remember one time at Baron's Haugh RSPB when a guy was happy as anything about his first Kingfisher sighting. I had a look through the scope and it was a piece of blue rope around a post...

Also: have some ropey shots I took through a telescope -
