As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

Chantelle, of St Blazey in Cornwall, said she believes the creature was a penguin - which are normally found 10,000 miles away in Antarctica.

She said: "I was with a friend walking over to the harbour and I saw it run past.
