I just finished the James Bond novel Dr. No written by Ian Fleming, and I encountered cormorants for the first time.
Phalacrocoracidae is a family of approximately 40 species of aquatic birds found worldwide and commonly known as cormorants and shags. See the video above.
Dr. No's minions are actually collecting cormorant guano (dung).
I also encountered nembutal headache. So I looked it up.
Nembutal (pentobarbital sodium) is a barbiturate used to treat insomnia, as an emergency seizure treatment, and to cause patients to fall asleep for surgery.
James Bond ordered angels on horseback; they're oysters wrapped in partially cooked bacon, then grilled or broiled and spritzed with lime or lemon.
Also, demoiselle, it could be a bird (crane) or fish (damselfish).
Also, cosset, care for and protect in an overindulgent way.
Also, palped; the verb "palp" means to touch or feel. It originates from the French word "palper" and is derived from the Latin "palpō," meaning "to stroke" or "to feel."
Also, merthiolate; it is a topical antiseptic solution used to prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions.
That's all, Folks.
