I'm glad the game carried on, but for the sake of accuracy, my bird was actually the

Taiwan (Formosa) Blue Magpie

http://images.google.com/images?complete=0&hl=en&q=Taiwan%20blue%20magpie&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

which is why maybe vague animal pictures don't always work out too well...but I thought someone would match that pic

[/quote] It seems that the beautiful bird occurs in many parts of the world, with different names. It is always good for learning about these things. Tks.

Looks like some kind of a Hindu shrine.  But without some (cryptic) clue rather hard to trace....

Although I wouldn't be surprised that our 2 mastercracks Minger & Seablonde have already found it and are now restraining themselves i.o. to give the weaker souls a chance....
