I suppose we'll have to send an eagle over to teach little sparrowhawkies how to be polite to guests.

I'd hire this writer in a minute. That lead paragraph was classic.

"It was a terrible moment," said Graham Appleton, of the British Trust for Ornithology, which had helped spread news of the visitor's arrival.

Sheesh, I'll send you a new one this afternoon. Okay? Now blow your nose...

Let that be a lesson to all you Southerners. This is what happens when you leave the beautiful sunny South and go poking around unhealthy places with drab factories and warehouses and things like that.

found its way to an industrial estate in Grimsby

I know Grimsby. All things considered, probably the best thing that could have happened to it.

The balance sheet is still hugely in their favor:

1 American Robin vs. 1 billion European Starlings.

Shoot a starling today. Your brightly colored neighborhood songbird will thank you tomorrow.

This is an outrage. I was going to send them 100 Cedar Waxwings. But if they can't protect one Robin, the deal is off. They can forget the 3 dozen Eastern Blue Birds as well.

She said: "I suspect that most of these rare visitors eventually succumb anyway to cold weather or a lack of food, if not predation."

Lack of food or lack of good food? This is, afterall, England. Perhaps, the Robin just decided it would rather starve than eat kidney pot pie or some such.

Bird watchers from all over Britain were appalled...

One really has to admire the stoicism of the Brits.

Radical Muslims are taking over their Island and they're concerned about Christopher Robin!
