YARN 13 - Birds of a Feather
By Mike BrooksYARN 13 - Birds of a Feather
Mix-and-match outfits mean the sailor seagull and fisherman oystercatcher are double the fun, with long legs that help them sit happily on a bedroom shelf. Millions of seabirds fly across the Wadden each year, so little ones will recognise their toys in flight or wading along the shore.
