Experiences with species

This was a bird that was high on both Chris and my priority lists. We were first alerted to it's presence by it's characteristic call, and eventually spotted two birds. It has the weirdest display, jumping up and down on its chosen point, calling away, with it's beak pointed heaven-wards.
