Toca El Timbre

So you've heard the tale about being crapped on by a bird being a sign of luck, si? Well I think my luck was in today. Ring the bell. Out for a stroll and wham, splat, just missed being flattened by a pile of stork poo. As you may also know, storks are not small birds, they are big blighters and therefore being hit by a discharge from a stork would be somewhat detrimental to my wellbeing. I won 20€ in the El Nino lottery so that was lucky then. Yo no voy a misa.

Factoid: In Spain, one often observes Storks nesting in the upper reaches of cathedrals and bell towers. Of course, storks are easy to spot…because they’re enormous! They have six-foot wingspans. And if you think the birds are big, you should see their nests. Spaniards seem to embrace the stork. Churches and other towering municipal structures actively encourage their presence by erecting platforms on which they can more easily build their nests.
