Speaking of birds with distinctive calls, there is a violet turaco drifting aimlessly around the area – it’s an escaped caged bird and is calling for a mate or for a fellow turaco, at least! Desperately sad. They come from west Africa so it will be forever singing with no hope of a response, although 'singing' might be a bit of a stretch in this instance - very weird sound! Akin to a turkey, I fondly imagine. 
I’ve heard it several times and saw it the other day – they like to sit inside foliage, high up, and are not easy to spot – it was a chance sighting. I can’t get it out of my mind, poor thing. Not in favour of people keeping exotic creatures or caging them at all unless under exceptional circumstances – for the animal’s sake.

Sorry to hear about the drummer! R.I.P.
