After all these years I am finally prepared to admit that I was one of the many who carelessly allowed the original Dingle to escape, in my defence I would say that I did not enjoy my ankles being savagely pecked. Luckily he was always re-captured usually somewhere in Rozel.

This is simply a wonderful story – full of excitement, drama and lots of fun! Well, for the birds anyway. You guys are doing a fantastic job, not just for this species, but, by setting an example, for all that need re-establishing in their rightful places. Lee
