The miraculous return of Motorway rooster!

Many of you will not be familiar with Motor-way rooster, who has lived for years crossing the road between the entrance to the southern motorway from the south eastern motorway. Each day he would journey across the traffic to a small verge of grass between merging traffic and the motorway.

Mid-way through 2007, I had very low hopes that Motorway Rooster would ever be seen again, as giant diggers and men in orange vests errected barriers across both sides of the onramp, caging out Motorway Rooster from his home. On most of the grassy verge that he used to peck about happily, amongst the discarded coke cans and takeaway wrappers, there now stands a steep concrete verge.. and although many of the road-work barriers are still there for some reason..Motorway rooster HAS RETURNED!

Visit www.antifashionleague.com to read his very own Comic strip! More episodes coming soon..

This is a photo of motorway rooster taken before the road works.

The grass is a little dry, but he doesn't mind.

After three months leave, I snapped him again to my great relief.

However, on reflection, i'm not sure if this is indeed motorway rooster, or a motorway hen? It's a bit hard to tell.

Anyway... apparently motorway rooster has a name! This showed up in the paper this
week:

For a long time I have wanted to put up a sign, and build motorwayrooster his own comic web site. But for now I just have the sign. I am waiting for all the road barriers to go down so I can pull over and stop to put it up.

Here is the sign:


So anyway, if you want a motorway rooster badge,
let me know!

Let's support this little bird to keep his patch of paradise,
albeit shrouded in vehicle emissions and discarded rubbish.
Not to mention half finished roadworks.
Poor little Rocky.
