Thanks for the ID Alby, cheers. bandit 1 wrote in post #3637972 Hiya Skylab, Great shot, I'll 2nd Alby's ID, must have the same books as me  If you find this one again give it a poke as when they are frightened they exude blood from their mouth, this according to the book is to frighten birds. Cheers for now Mark Thanks for the info Mark. Brian
