Been away for 24 hours, and come back and see this!Think some of this was my fault.I was away from all my notes on the subject, and was working from memory. So i screwed up on the scientific name, but got Minima, and the Cackling bit right.So, sorry if i caused confusions, and a bit of a cyber tussle!I think Deborah is a great contributor, and i feel she gets a hard time of it sometimes (could it be because she is often the only lady amongst men?) Hmmmm? I wonder sometimes...It's making mistakes that allow us to learn, flourish and develop as Birders and, ultimately, people. To be afraid of making them is not good. Personally, i love making mistakes, it's nature's way of controlling ego!And Twite's comments about Deborah?:C That's a bit harsh don't you think? Does he only contribute now when he want to slag someone off? If you don't like BF, don't use it. It's pretty simple. There's still a good number of people who DO enjoy it!And if you've given up contributing, why are you still doing it???That's my Cackling Cackling over with! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
