Dear Bob etc... Can we please get back to the birds now...!! It's only my 
opinion, but I think that non-bird related topics such as this should be taken 
off-list & not be cluttering in-boxes of all subscribers ... Enough said 
already..... Cheers, Martin Cachard,Cairns       (the city of which now 
includes PORT DOUGLAS!!!!!)
