Ministry of Silly Walks
The Ministry of Silly Walks was a comedy sketch in a 1970 episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ministry_of_Silly_Walks A deadpan John Cleese dressed in a suit and bowler hat walks in a bizarre high-stepping manner. I found this old photo on Flickr depicting him: www.flickr.com/photos/mwm4444/7889666446/in/photolist Anyway, you can probably see why this high-stepping Corncrake reminded me of that sketch. This was taken in the back garden of the place we were staying on Iona this spring.
