    Oh yes @Agent_99, page 7, represented with some other Coat of Arms (but absent Canterbury, shared below).

    Plus on your adventures you reported Red-bill choughs seen with Storks and other avian life. I think we decided on (Yellow-billed) choughs at Piz Gloria. Good work all.

    Aha, thank you, @RichardTheBruce - it's all coming back now! As will the choughs, I hope.

    Not Bond-related apart from the mention of the Audobon Society (and the photographer's watermark!) but I liked it.

    Thanks for bumping this thread @Agent_99.

    This is a busy year for me, I resolve to give some Birding updates closer to the holiday season at year's end. Plus the Greek to Me and Rebus lanes.

    Until then I can recognize well-known artist and namesake Terance James Bond (of Suffolk) focusing on bird life.

    What birds can be heard as James drives Mr Jones to Government House in Dr No?

    I'm not sure but they found like tropical birds to me. Probably not much help!

    Some more recent bird additions to the Q collection would be the copper wall ornament in the shape of a rooster, as seen on Bond's kitchen wall in LALD; Swan Vesta matchbox - 1980s version from TLD; Desert Eagle toy handgun from various Bond game adventures; Q's BOAC travel bag with speedbird logo from TSWLM; OHMSS Piz Gloria playing cards which feature a lyrebird on the box art, ace of hearts and various other birds on the hearts court cards; Isthmus casino chip with bird atop the shield crest.

    Good question, @PropertyOfALady, and still another lane for birding.

    I'm actually not so good at bird sounds and songs (or flora and fauna for their environment) as I'm supposed to be.

    With a little research I can get pretty close to the birds heard at 2:45 in the clip.

    So I'm associating that trilling type song to a Common Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), as a film sound in use back then and today.

    Excellent! Thank you. Do you happen to know what type of birds the dogs scare in Dr No while looking for Honey, Quarrel and Bond? I'm researching the animals of Bond, and for birds, your help would be greatly appreciated.

    @PropertyOfALady at 5:09, I'd guess the birds on screen are the Ring-tailed pigeon (Patagioenas caribaea) as native to Jamaica. Or stock footage of other doves or pigeons are possible.

    Sound-wise that seems to be the shriek of monkeys to me.

    I just played that audio on my laptop while sitting on my kitchen porch for a late breakfast, and another chaffinch somewhere in the surrounding trees actually answered.

    Beautiful @j_w_pepper that's a method I haven't taken on--recordings to draw in particular species.




    More from the Q Collection.

    Desert Eagle
    toy handgun from various Bond game adventures
    The World is Not Enough
    Nightfire

    The logo is not a specific species, still the Golden Eagle is common in deserts.

    Q's BOAC travel bag with speedbird logo from TSWLM;

    Again the speedbird logo is not specific, but is thought to resemble a Swift.
