I thoroughly enjoyed your potted life history as I didn't know most of it. And you've just reminded me - silly me - that one of my great moments has to be the time the weirdest bird flew in through the window into the old stone house we had just started renovating in France. Again, I believe I have recounted this tale before, about how this stranger flapped around panicking as I rushed to open the door to set it free. A visit to the bookstore in town revealed all: a Hoopoe. It was the oddest of my moments, and all over so quickly. I have always looked out for it, and never let down until this year. Smashing photo Pam. I know how you love these birds and you've got a cracker there. I would be so proud to have one half that good. My efforts are always struggling, they're almost like 'spot the bird' photos!</blockquote>
