Strange happenings in the forest

This post contains a sponsored link and a little made up story! :)

As I sit up here hanging around on a branch keeping watch over the forest and all it's inhabitants I can always see little shapes fluttering far away in the distance.

At moments I like this I swing down to my work room and grab my binoculars and camera. Many a time you can see various types of birds, snakes and tree dwellers going about their daily life.

One such moment just a few weeks ago lead me to witnessing a bizarre scene. Now being the caretaker of the forest I know many of the beings that reside here but browsing deep into the trees I could see a strange little creature that I had never seen before. The little winged, long nosed animal was looking very nauseous and dazed.

I immediately slid down my rope and made my way by foot to go and find this creature. Luckily I know the random forest very well so it took me no time at all. I found the creature lying down at the base of the tree, looking somewhat disheveled so I picked it up and took it to Bernard the dog for some medical advice.

Bernard was gob smacked. He said it resembled a young pterodactyl and that they had been extinct for millions of years!

We are still unsure how it got here but it is well on the way to recovery and Bernard has taken the duty of care until we can work out how to return it to it's time period.

Anacortes is a website that provides equipment for bird watching and star gazing (or pterodactyl spotting) including binoculars, telescopes and CCD digital cameras. As well as books, bird supplies and a classified section. They stock many major brands including Celestron, Meade and Bushnell.

The site is a little cluttered on first glance but carries a very friendly feel and seems easy enough to navigate and purchase from. If I was looking for anything they carry and the price was right I would have no worries using them.
