FISH IN THE SKY

We don't usually find fish at Filnore Woods 

but last Saturday there was a so-called mackerel sky.

 Like other wild things clouds have species names.  This is altocumulus.  

In 'The Cloud Collector's Handbook', Gavin Pretor-Pinney describes these clouds as "Who knocked over the jar of cotton wool balls".  This is perhaps a truer description than 'mackerel'.
