(B) So there we were, The Significant Otter (TSO) and me, strolling along by a waterside path, and somewhere ahead of us came an intermittent squeaky call ! (ISQ) TSO turned to me and said ... "that sounds a bit like some sort of bird." And I said .. "Yes, it does, but which one?" And the TSO. said ... "Well, you're the one that's supposed to know" And I replied "I can't exactly pin it down, I'll need to see it." So we stopped and I scanned around with the bins, to no avail. The Intermittent Squeaky Noise ( ISN) continued merrily in the near-ish distance... (NID) It did sound like some water-bird of some sort. ( WBOSS) And then we went round a slight curve, and there, about 20 metres away, was a rather athletic-looking youth (ALY) pumping up a gaudily coloured plastic raft. (GCPR) And that pump was making the ISN. Bah and double-bah. And just to rub things in, by an incredible and ridiculous coincidence,(IARC) another well-known local birder (WKLB), initials SC, was standing there watching the action. Treble Bah. (BahBahBah) But later in the day, a horrible thought (AHT) occurred to me. Could it be that there WAS a rarity nearby, and it had landed there because it heard that artificially-generated squeaky noise (AGSN) made by said boaters ? (SB) Well, yes, it could. That ISN/AGSN had lured the hidden rarity (THR) and was missed by both SC and me (M). ..... all the mistakes are out there, just waiting to be made ... Can I come up with some relevant music ? ... er, yes ... "Au bout De la course Remonte jusqu'à A la source
