The only test to adjudicate the authenticity of this bird's true origin is to witness it's attitude towards blackbirds. Should the shelduck horde then into camps, deprive them of the vote and then itself end up living in a burrow in the dunes at Merthyr protected by private security guards and panic alarms then, and only then, can you claim it as a wild. The secondary features associated with clinching it's origin will then only come down to stupidity, ignorance and Jerry Dammers realeasing a new single? Discuss....

Funnily enough a coot was feeding nearby with two mute swans and it chased the coot away, making it feed on its own on the far bank of the river.

Any sign of Jerry Dammers or anyone else from the Special AKA (and for those viewers not watching in technicolor, either too young, too old or simply from Swansea....they were a band)in the vacinity? Riot vans? Tear Gas? Water cannons? Sounds like you've got a first for the Western P!
