From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've recently discovered that university life is very, very different from school life. So when I'm not working, I'm playing, which, evidently, leaves no time for wikiwriting. However I do reserve the right to use this profile in the future, and I shall return, in time, but my emphasis will probably shift to commercial law related topics, as that is my chosen field.

Best of luck to all of you!

Well actually, I've been doing the whole university thing for ages now, striving for more partying and less work...


Fork-tailed flycatcher
The fork-tailed flycatcher (Tyrannus savana) is a bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. Named after their distinguishably long, forked tails, particularly in males, fork-tailed flycatchers are seen in shrubland, savanna, lightly forested and grassland areas, from southern Mexico south to Argentina. They tend to build their cup nests in similar habitats to their hunting grounds (riparian forests and grasslands). Males perform aerial courtship displays to impress females involving swirling somersaults, twists, and flips, all partnered with their buzzing calls. These courtship displays utilise the long tail feathers. This male fork-tailed flycatcher of the subspecies T. s. monachus was photographed in Cayo District, Belize, demonstrating its characteristic forked tail while in flight.Photograph credit: Charles J.
