This is the revolting moment a dive-bombing seabird scored a messy direct hit on an unsuspecting twitcher. Jacqueline Dawson was visiting the Isle of May in the Forth when a rogue Arctic Tern swooped - and pooped on her head. Her husband Darren, an amateur photographer, had his camera ready to capture the moment the aggressive bird scored a bullseye with a laser-guided dollop of guano. His sequence of pictures show 45-year-old Jacqueline with her hood up, laughing as the animal swoops towards her. The bird, also known as a sea swallow, flaps above her and bats her with its tail in an attempt to scare her off. Her laughter turns to a grimace when the bird releases a trail of poo as a last resort - which hits her right on the top of the head. (credit:Deadline News/REX)
