Hi there,
A change from the usual flippered friends.
A point of interest and you know how scathing birders can be when they
identify a call or bird and it is not supposed to be there, but being used
as a prop incorrectly
This was a thread on the SA net some few months ago and the number of
incidents was amazing. It is mainly the American movie makers that are at
fault but the Ozies have fallen into the same trap - unless there is a bird
in Oz that sounds like a Fish Eagle?
Cheers
