I mean, unless it's a different David Attenbourough Lyrebird video. I admit I did not watch it to check.

Away it goes. Impulse posting leads to stupid.

Missed the first post, so many thanks for inadvertantly 'doubling'. Stupendous. Anyone know in which forests the lyrebird is found?

Maybe you were thinking tits?

Azaadistani: In the bush down the east coast of Australia. I'd like to reassure viewers that it's one of the few things here that isn't venomous.

I've seen a couple of lyrebirds in the Cathedral ranges - about 150ks north-east of Melbourne. The last one I saw was running through a cycle of calls which included a car alarm and a motor drive camera. Impressive at the David Attenborough video is, it ain't a patch on the real thing!

Love it, and it's crazy that I just posted the same clip to my blog yesterday.
