Thanks jjj and Rick.
Yes they're just fantastic.Like I said I have a squillion pics but don't worry.
I'll only throw up a few more from the following year when their nest was overhanging my yard.
A workmate's parents looked after one several years ago when it was orphaned.
It would get in the shower with his father each morning then flop around for a couple of hours until it had dried off enough to fly again.
Then each night it would go off to hunt and spend its days perched on a big piece of coral they had on their sideboard.
One day his mother had the local mothers' group round for coffee.
"Wow what a realistic statue" one lady said.You can guess the rest as it tried to perch on her shoulder.
Eventually it returned to the wild on it's own.
I just love 'em.
Ken.
