    That's the one. Scary devils - when scared or annoyed they rear up on the back legs and charge like the clappers. A work mate caught one by the tail when we were working in the bush - and accidently threw it at me. It missed, but picked itself up, charged straight at me, ran up my back and sat on my head. They have bloody sharp claws, I can tell you, and their breath stinks something terrible....

    Over to you.

    noo... a close look should give the species... and a bit of further research the genus/breed

    It does nest in the UK in low numbers... generally in Islands
