Subject: RE: [Birding-Aus] blog for birding aus - birders behaving badly
Perhaps she simply didn't understand the significance of what she was
seeing?  A bit shocking, buut it couldn't be considered to be
particularly damaging behaviour - not like tramping through OBP habitat
without regard for the birds that might be frightened off - the main
damage would be the petrol she used just to get a meaningless tick.

I'm interested to know if people consider that parking close to this
waterhole near Cunnamulla to see the Flock Bronzewings would be
detrimental to the birds or not.
