way they thank you no Ralph has claimed that he saw blue-crested who's not from Lane I saw the bloody thing a mega Ralph says he saw a blue-crested Hoopoe by swans don't labour epochs yes thank you where are you alone at the time yes then it's unverifiable as Patrick says what about them to burn us honor my word is my bond nobody's questioning your word Ralph yes he is and why because this sighting gives me a 10-point lead in this year's competition ten points ahead of you Patrick that's what this is all about the committee is merely trying to establish how it is you saw the Hoopoe and no one else has spotted it because I'm up at a Sparrow's fart every morning and sat in the sticks every night year round that's house not just the seldom seen Ralph it's an endangered species native to Uganda so it made a pit stop on its way home offensive I propose we refer the sighting to the National Committee and that it will not count towards the year less competition second good I saw it what more do you want proof would be good you was lining to see a blue-crested hoop who land in Midsomer as Concord truth be told you wouldn't know the truth of it plop on you from a great height do you accept the proposal I know your game Patrick this is war from now on consider yourself an endangered species you don't get that shall we [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] spotted this morning at 10:00 a.m. a dog walker body was entangled in that net confusion to the rear of the skull Association by drowning most likely cause of death we can eliminate accident then I wouldn't be too

Ford my profession I'm a taxidermist you'll be surprised at what people want to preserve and how much they prepare to pay for it you name it I've stuffed it hunting trophies are they well the fish were all hooked the bear got shot but the birds they all died a natural death this is their resurrection i give them life after death but we can't do that for Patrick Morgan you had a row with him yesterday evening that right hmm I spotted a blue-crested Hoopoe a mega a rare bird Patrick said I was lying because it gave me a 10-point lead in the annual list cup for spotting the most different species in a year he couldn't bear to be beaten this is Patrick's mobile there's a message on it purporting to be a bird alert a message which drew him to his death we sent from your phone mr.

Markham dead as I don't know what I told it's one thing if it's some sort of prize you've shot it but quite another if what are you doing here we found a red bird mr. Ford a blue-crested hoop who I believe yes justice they Foxley told us everything you cheated by lying about seeing your life that's my affair once I got to do with you we know you've told us one lie Ralph how many more of you told us what do you mean your phone was used to lure Patrick Morgan to his death look I told you it was stolen can anyone confirm where you were around midnight last night no I was here working alone you and a shotgun mr. Ford did you kill dr. Markham what no I could never harm another living thing I mean I couldn't I'm a vegetarian I don't quite see the relevance of that oh I'm just saying as a vegetarian I could never put a living corpse into my mouth so it's hacked flesh swallow the juices of its death wounds we're not accusing you of eating in mr. Ford and I'm just saying that I could never harm eat let alone kill a fellow creature you're surrounded by dead animals I told you I don't kill them I stuffed them and give them resurrection life after death in all their glory back up the bird Jose it's alright alright - take it - look you don't have to tell her everyone that I lied my tick I imagine it'll be all over midsummer before long ah you'll have to take the shame mr. Ford [Music] well Foxley was right about him he's out of his tree all that stuff about vegetarianism maybe you've got a point not everyone's capable of killing could you ring a chicken's neck for her - yeah well you couldn't call me a killer for that a chicken could yeah yeah we're coming to it they're two banks in the distance shotgun we've established the shots that killed dr.
