Just for the sake of discussion, OP:
If these photo's are cropped, can you provide a link of the full versions... for analysis?
Why?
You state that the individual that took the pictures said to you:
"a flock of birds"
"one of the birds looked like it had a piece of string stuck to it"
If the moon was visible in the shots, one could determine the positions of said birds... and of the trajectory of the object in question. Am I wrong
in assuming that?
Now, what I see (based on the limited Field Of View in your pictures) is something.
It looks to me that it is some debris that is directly interacting with the birds.
Could it be poo... sure! And I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was. But we may never know for certain. But I do know that it is highly probable..
as I have seen it firsthand. Ever wonder why birds always seem to crap on your car windows and nowhere else?
True story:
About 10 years ago I was at a late evening BBQ with a few of my friends, and as we were sitting on the tailgate of my buddy's truck drinking some
beers I pointed out a massive flock of geese overhead. Being avid outdoorsmen, we talked about it for a couple of minutes... then proceeded to finish
off the coronas. At that moment I noticed something in Mike's drink, just floating there on the surface. I thought... floater...!
But it was on the rim of the bottle, and being that it was fairly fresh... I'll spare the details.
Long story short, everyone there that day concluded that it was avian fecal matter... dropped from far above. How that bird dropped a shot into a
roughly 1 inch hole is beyond me. Norden bombsights anyone?
So yes, it is plausible that it is just poo.
I still want to see the full pics of this (particular incident) though!
T-
~edited, because I don't want to see full pics of bird poo in any shape and form... I just want to see the pretty bird pictures..... just a
clarification.
Carry on
