birding-aus
Hi chaps
A bit tough, Tom! I know I don't get out much, but how could any LIVE
opera performance be boring?
Can't say I've observed birds AT the opera, but can claim to have had a
grey fantail fly into my house and sing along on cue -- to Papageno's aria
"Der Vogelfanger bin ich ja", naturally! (True as I'm sitting here --
almost vowed to give up Chateau Cardboard after that!)
