OOPS! Sorry!. Finally did what I should have done in the first place: Look
at HAZAAB.
All I wanted to know, and more, in two papers (in Emu v.97, 4) by Geoffrey
C. Smith & Darryl N. Jones (pp290-295) and by Darryl N. Jones & Geoffrey C.
Smith (pp.296-304).
And yes, the final clap of the "gobble" call is a bill-clap.
Cheers
Syd
