Yesterday I told you about Powler's Piece - the strange and rather creepy forest a couple of miles south of the village in which we live.Yesterday afternoon, while I was working on the new book by Carl Portman (more of which soon), Corinna, Shosh and Gavin took Biggles for an afternoon stroll.
They were in another part of the woods to that where they found the snow dryad on Friday, and they had been looking for footprints.
Amongst the myriad of deer, dogs and smaller creatures was this.
WTF? (as I am sure my younger stepdaughter, and probably Max would say)
I know that it looks like the single print of a cassowary, or maybe a small dinosaur, but it obviously isn't. But what is it?
It is the fact that it is a single imprint in the snow that intrigues me. It probably isn't even a footprint. My best guess is that it is what happens when a bird of prey momentarily lands to capture some poor hapless rodent, but that is only a guess.
It is over to you guys and I, for one, am hoping that it is a giant, one-legged snow cassowary. If it is, then I propose the name Casuarius corinna-and-bigglesi. C'mon boys and girls, don't let a fat cryptozoologist's dreams fail to come true (again).
