OK, actually walking a pile of branches, but....

Yarrrr! This be a Grey Heron, ye lubbers. Damn me for a lily-livered squab if that's not Ardea cinerea, curse you!
Aye, "curse you!" says I, and I'll wipe the eye of the first of you dogs who so much as looks at me for it! Arrrrr! Just a shame it's not a fine parrot from the Spanish Main.

'tis also the birthday of me dear sister...a saucy wench, and right handy with a cutlass. I shall take a tot of rum in your honour, m'lady. Arrr!
