Do they say, dikk kopp all the time? These birds would have to be protected with nesting in the ground!

@maggiemae Google their call Maggiemae, it is incredible, as if they are being slaughtered! Theyare such agressive birds, nothing dare go close to them. Even the cats are afraid of them ;-)

[Diana]

@grammyn I hope it was a positive dream Katy :-)

@ludwigsdiana all I remember is that I saw them and knew what they were because of you and your magnificent photos of them
