Pirate Week Bounty ---aaaar
As t'was talk like a pirate day during the week, ill spin ye a yarn in ye olde pirate talk me mateys.
On dark and stormy saturday morning, in the wee hours o' the day. Me and 3 shipmates did set forth, battling the the fiercest of storms that davy jone's locker had set upon us.
After a flood the likes o' which noah himself had never seen, had nearly felled our fair craft, the volkswagen polo, in wateford *cough cough* city, we didst set forth again with the assistance of the AA for Tacumshin.
Yarr it was a fair sight me hearties when we did leave the accursed earth of waterford, and feasted our eyes upon the the glorious sunshine of wexford.
Tacumshins east end, did produce both black tern and a juvenile garganey. Yet no fair sight of a black winged stilt.
Said vagrant had shifted to ladys island, and we did set forth at speed to see him.
A fair juvenile he be. And did feed in same spot all day for our amusement.
When we had had our fill we set out for tacumshin again, and did look a a tawny pipit for a good while. Twas a tick for me mateys!And a grand sight twas too!
Tacumshin then had many buffs and 2 pecs for us, and a brief view of a bairds for me. An armada of yellow wags was in a field with some horses and was an amazing sight.
On sunday we did set out full sail for Cape Clear, at the news that an Eastern Olivaceous had been found. We did charter a might vessel, that did conquer the swell and land us on the island. And for a good half hour we did watch the bird.
Yarrr...Sin é.
