DRACULA AND FRIAR TUCK CAUSE FLAP IN QUEENSLAND HUSTINGS

Dracula , the  cute  Coucal recently released into the wild on Magnetic Island , has  been  spending  time  with  supporters  of   the   two  main  political  parties in  the  Queensland  election.  In  each  camp  he  demands attention  and  receives choice  tucker, including  Dutch cheese .  Magnetic  Island  ALP  branch  secretary , Linda Wootten ,  a  wildlife  carer , is  looking after  a  number of critters ,  including a Friar Bird ,  naturally   given   the  name  of the greedy  cleric  in  Robin Hood of  Sherwood Forest  fame , which  demands  frequent  attention  and  recently  enjoyed  a  bowl  of  tasty  flying  ants .  As  mentioned  earlier, Linda was recently  called  in to help remove  Death Adders  in  Arcadia .  It seems  the  rumble of  a washing machine caused  the  large Death Adders to move  off –but  to  where?
