Thanks for that. It lightens up an unresolvable
discussion but also depresses that the situation could be so bad. Well
I thought "cotta" could be coot too but it could be a shortening of
"Terracotta", as in some birds are quite statuesque.
p.s. the Land Rover Club of the ACT that I am a
member of, does include the occasional quite reasonably accurate description or
comment about birds encountered on the trips. And not just articles by
me.
