Dave! I didn't know that you'd visited!
I couldn't find a recording of a Victorian call, will have do do my own next time the weather warms up.


Right, Joe ;) Here's (IMHO) a better version:

Mike, is that the type that's licked it or should it be left for a Princess to kiss it? :dunno:

Hi Joe,
IN ADVANCE!? You missed it while you were off fishing... :'( But thanks for it anyway!

No, I didn't see the movie. I first came across its existence when I tripped over a ten minute madness series, where they took about 30 seconds of it, and looped it for ten minutes. Excruciating! 8)

Hi Kevin,
I'm not licking that little one, there's horse & chicken poo in the soil. :-O
I'll leave all the kissing to the Princesses, thanks! :-O
btw, it didn't fly well, it did a hop, landed nose first, and flipped base over apex back onto its feet.
Cheers, Mike.
