Hi all
thanks for the comments on the Flock Bronzewing. I had  
thought of the feather soaking trick, and indeed the bird in flight 
is reminiscent of Sandgrouse (not that I've seen one in the wild, but 
I have on telly, and many other people have commented on the 
resemblance). Interesting thatalighting on water is a documented 
feature of the bird's behaviour. It was one of those things that 
seemed completely unexpected.
Cheers
Niven
