The Story

Chalky has agreed to help a friend with a school birdspotting project. They spot a Lesser Spotted T ree Nibbler in a tree next door and Chalky quickly begins to sktch it. But the neighbour scares it away before Chalky has drawn it.

When asked why he did it, the neighbour says that birds keep doing nasty things on his garden gnomes. As the neighbour storms off the bird returns, and Chalky tries to continue his sketch, but the neighbour scares it off again. Chalky and his friend decide something must be done.

Later the neighbour hears Chalky and his friend talking about a big un, they thought were extinct. The neighbour uses a megaphone to try and scare it off, but it comes over the fence and the neighbour sees it's a prehistorical Pterodactyl and runs off. It turns out Chalky made the sketch on an old sheet!
