We split up, he said, "if you find it, make a noise like a cheese and I'll come running"...we figured he was just a tad crazy. Anyway, we did find it and I duly did my best interpretation of cheese noise - and he suddenly appeared about 200 metres away and came running!!!! To this day I have no idea what happened in that gulley, but the bird was bloody awesome :) Gibsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699055561230102061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-7074014799220040462018-01-28T10:07:37.736+00:002018-01-28T10:07:37.736+00:00Makes me long for those warm summer days again!
