Mutation

 


Is it a swan or is it a vegetable? This has split the 'Editorial Team at 'Nice Birds but Dangerous' - aka 'The NBBD' . 

Some of the younger and swan inexperienced team members said "aberrant vegetable" but my own more 'trubblin' guess is that an innocent courgette literally got  a 'Cob on'. If I am correct, Joe's wise words " Never turn your back on a swan" would also apply to vegetables!  

Have swans managed to breach the animal vegetable divide? 

Where will this all end - either in a lake or a lasagne?  

'Trubblin' indeed! - Ed.

Many thanks to Tony Lavage of Bassingbourn for sending in this intriguing photograph of a 'swan-squash' hybrid, which he found quite unexpectedly in amongst the legumes.
