New species for county !

Some friends who came over for lunch today informed me that they had encountered an Ostrich "on the loose" near their home in Llangeitho recently. After another glass of wine I undertook a few enquiries in the interest of ornithological science. It was clear that the flightless bird they saw on the road was indeed too large and too fast for a penguin and so Ostrich-like bird it clearly must have been. I understand it has since been recaptured and returned to the smallholding from whence it came.
