Vespa Red Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Was I alone in spotting the bird swooping down onto the pitch throughout the second half of the game on Saturday? East End end? I think it was either a pied or grey wagtail but couldn't tell from the 32nd row of the Dolman. What are other readers thoughts?

marmite Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Wondered what he'd found to eat on the pitch. Perhaps some humble pie from the crowd. (Might have been mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are usually 3-4 that can be seen around Marina Dolman's way in the winter. Made a change from counting the seagulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
