| Back and forth went the jet- skiers |
ONE of two jet-skiers who frightened the wits out of shorebirds at their roost got his come-uppance on the afternoon of New Year's Day.
His machine conked out, and he had to be towed back to dry land.
One fanciful theory is that a flock of stout-hearted oystercatchers cast a malicious spell as his punishment for terrifying thousands of their smaller relatives - knot, dunlin, sanderling and ringed plover.
Today, at Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire, there was no return of the jet-skiers and the shorebirds, all of them, could snooze in peace.

| Would there be no relief for the panicking shorebirds? |
 |
| Time to take a stand - the oystercatchers stay put and cast their collective spell |
 |
| Oh, the shame of it! The broken down jet-ski is towed home, but still the chance for one last disturbance |

| Could this be the solution? Report from The Daily Telegraph |
