Mobile phone bird

["Meryl Ferguson" <>]

That's great Val, I can just imagine it too!

We did think it might be a phone, or a frog, but the call really echoed
around the reeds, and it wasn't regular enough for a mobile.  We also heard
it both in the evening and the next morning, in 2 different spots.

I suppose it could have been some intrepid birder, deep in the reed
beds...but I will be very disappointed if it is!
