Info Post
Today I spoke to the lady in whose garden the Rose-coloured Starling has been seen (I have known the family for many years).
She is extremely annoyed and distressed to realise that her address appeared on the Internet; and is equally worried by finding complete strangers lurking in her garden. It is a pity that some birders will stop at nothing. We are all tarred with the same brush!!
Surely the consent of the owner of the property should have been sought before it was published on the National network.
I am sure that local birders were not responsible for this, but it does highlight the problem of how we should deal with sensitive information locally. Perhaps too much attention has been drawn to this bird and its location on various web sites.
