Tweeting is for the birds

Being of the opinion that tweeting was strictly for the youngsters, Calton has steadfastly avoided it but, having heard on the news tonight that an Eagle Owl in Inverness is tweeting, Calton has finally signed up, if only to find out what the European interloper is saying, or perhaps hooting would be a better word. (For those of you who are not familiar with birds of prey, an Eagle Owl is an owl and a Sea Eagle is an eagle. There is a big difference, not least in size. Not that Calton is crowing or anything.) It seems that the visitor to Inverness has not been very discriminate in its attacks - it has obviously not learned to recognise a politician yet. (Calton thinks that we would have heard by now if one of the victims had been the Red Squirrel of the North.) Better luck next time Owl.
