Glad you think so!

Thanks, K
The hyphen also restores some respectability to this bird, which is insulted as "sordid" in its scientific name: Eumyias sordida!

Stu, so you would invite in for a party?

Merci beaucoup, Monique et Daniel.
Tout d'abord, je suis désolé que votre commentaire a été retardé à comparaître. J'ai passé ces derniers jours dans un hôpital pour subir une septoplastie. (Je suis OK maintenant!) Cet oiseau a été photographié à la lumière beau matin, et je suis heureux avec les résultats. Lorsque j'ai tourné cela, cette espèce d'oiseau est ridiculement peur des humains!; 3 June 2011 at 20:17
