My friend was in a right strop today! He had been handed a white piece of paper by some child, he took it in his beak, dropped it and then started jumping on it and flying around his compound. He was not a happy chappy!

This nest was right on the edge of the path, every time anyone walked past the mother hopped off and went for a swim. Bet the chick was longing for closing time!
