Penguin at Harewood House Bird Garden As well as being a beautiful stately home, Harewood House also has an extensive bird garden, which includes a modest penguinarium.  Although the sex of Humboldt Penguins cannot be determined by appearance, this is a male - the sex has been previously determined by staff and indicated with a marker  on his left flipper.  Females will be tagged on the right.

Alien "UFO" Rods at Harewood House These alien rods (see <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.roswellrods.com/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.roswellrods.com/">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> ) were captured on digital camera at Harewood House on a warm spring afternoon.

They are of course not bizarre alien creatures as some believe, but flies, captured in the relatively fast time exposure of the camera.

Seriously though, I nearly laughed myself off the seat at times, but at other times I was angered by the way the "facts" were being presented.

I guess if there's money to be made selling books...
