Sorry, I got distracted by the Epic of the Coffee-cup. More typically, the
reflections of a larger rallid so observed will be along the lines -
* - "Har, har, har! Here come Ian Fraser's 'Understanding Birds' class, and he's just told them they can readily distinguish coots, moorhens and swamphens just by looking at their heads.' or (according to Ian himself)# - "Marvellous, isn't it. The Greater Rail-gripping Frog is supposed to be extinct in the ACT, and I have to be the one that rediscovers it."
