IoW Bird Monster

After the recent discovery of the Sturt Pond Monster (read here), Jon has written to inform us of a discovery his family made on recent visit to the Isle of Wight.

Jon explained; "We came across this strange bird like creature that had been 'frozen' in time. Now we know that visiting the Island can be a little like going back in time, but this 'creature' surprised us all by its size and curious features. 

If any of your readers can identify the species they could possibly have the specimen named in their honour. 

I should point out that the head alone is over half a metre in length so the creatures exact location, on the Isle of Wight, is being kept secret for the time being."

It is nice to see that another of our readers is a daft as me!
