    Especially good, that shot of him in flight, Words.
    I'm curious about those chimney pots (if that's what they are) that appear in the shots of him on the merlons of the tower.

    Goodness, those feet. Not quite as strange as a coot's but close.

    Adele, they are odd… I might start calling them the rubber-flipper bird.

    dW, those chimney pots will produce nothing more than Holy Smoke. It's the stone cross on the top of the church that you can see, side on.
