We have just had another MAJOR storm hit NZ, exactly 28 days from the last one and coinciding with a King Tide. It again wreaked major damage around the country. I was intrigued by something i picked up about some cranes (birds) that had been blown down in a suburb of Auckland and were being attended to. Something like this...
Being a lot less mobile than normal I asked a friend in the area who is a budding photographer and engineer, if they could get a photo for me. I told him where to go and he said he'd be happy to! Excellent I thought.
This is what I got back... Apparently he came across this on the way and got confused... or something...

Haaaa. Lovely. Perhaps he isn't as interested in wildlife and nature as you are.

I agree, and a bit too much of the engineer too!

I can see where the error might arise. Probably best to not ask for any pictures of Brown Boobies that might have been blown astray in the storms.

Re: What happens when you don't say EXACTLY what you mean
Yeah, I don't get it ...
Are you suggesting that's not a crane. Or disputing the fact that it was blown down in the storm? Perhaps it was overturned due to operator error?
