Once we sat down for a cuppa suddenly we started to hear this metallic chirp call and then two birds gave us a display all round us like a mating dance. Haven't seen any for a couple of years. yay.

Thanks Darcy. Just really lucky they were in mating mode and went round, and round, and round us landing quite low.
