Fraaaaaaannnnkkkk!!!! 
That's what they're called in the fens, or Old Hansa' for some unknown reason.
Frank is what they seem to shout when they take off if disturbed.

Bloody hell mate sounds a nightmare!
I thought he looked a bit bedraggled. You're a braver man than me. I don't fancy the look of that rapier like bill one bit.

Re: testing moonlight
He did have a couple of stabs at me but once I got hold of his neck he was quite well behaved,I was just so relieved when he eventualy flew off.Its getting to be a bit of a habit,in the last two years ive had to deal with a grebe 2 terns and 3 cormmorants,might have to start carrying a glove as I had an owl fly past realy close the other night,that gave me a fright.
