Dave, after being shat upon by a gull, soon after our arrival in Penzance.

On yester eve we walked in Penzance

Casting skyward nary a glance

From cloudless skies we felt a splat

Upon our heads a gull had shat!

The culprit!!.
The scene of the crime.
A palm tree. Cornwall is the recipient of warm Caribbean air, thus palm trees!
