Two thoughts on the Ark question-

As a child I was told that Noah wouldn't take woodworm on board, for obvious reasons!

Years ago the Bachelors sang a song about a unicorn which became extinct because Noah diidn't take it on the ark

Very many thanks to all of you - I think I shall go with Tower Captain as it rings a bell somewhere - no pun intended. Mull of Kintyre is so obvious it makes me wonder why I didn't get it. I had a feeling about seas on the moon but am still no further with missing ark animal. The suggestions given are food for thought. The biblical town is Antioch and no suggestions yet re blackbird. Would never have known about by = viking settlement so thanks again
