Whats that white thing?

  • RosalynL by RosalynL

    The bird front center has something white just behind it. To my eyes it looks like a piece of rubbish, but it may be a bird wing. I marked it as "other" but didn't select something from the list as I can't really identify it.
    Just wondering what you all think it is.

    I see what you mean. In fact it is simply the inside of that penguin's right wing. They are well oiled and seem very bright in the sun. If you are not sure of something it is best not to mark it 😃

    It is amazing how difficult it can be to make out what is happening at times - even if you have been on PW as ling as I have. Thanks for your help 😄

    Oh yes!! Thank you. And I didn't spot him/her for looking at the shiny wing. Silly me! Looking very handsome. And apparently quite happy to stay with the neighbours. I wish we knew if there are chinstraps over that ridge 😕

    Collected this to my 'mixed colony' collection 😃
