As below: "an Immelmann turn" being presumably a commemoration of Klaus Immelmann who came to Australia and did a lot of research and wrote a book on Australian Finches. That is the only Immelmann I know (yet alone one with a connection to birds), although I can't conjure up any kind of connection there, to what it is you are writing about. I for one don't like the Noisy Friarbirds and am glad to see the last of them in Autumn but not quite as much as I don't like the Pied Currawongs. Although that is just my bias and hardly matters a hoot.
